Configuring Counters for Performance Metrics
You can configure the threshold values for the performance metrics. When the threshold is exceeded, email alerts
can be sent to the email account configured on the notifications page.
For example, you might not want CPU usage over 50% for too long. Consider setting the thresholds to the
following:
– Low: 50
– Medium: 65
– High: 70
– Threshold Duration: 10 minutes
If there is a running average reading of 52%, then a low level alert is sent.
After a counter alerts at a certain level it will not generate further alerts for that level (or below) until it is reset. An
alert is considered in a reset state when the average is below the reset threshold for the specified time span.
If a metric is in an alerted state, but then that metric goes below a configurable Reset threshold for the specified
amount of time, then the alert is cleared, and a Reset alert is generated. At this point, the performance counter will
again receive alerts if it exceeds the threshold again.
To configure counters view performance and alert settings:
1. Select Diagnostics from the menu.
2. Select Selectable Counters from the menu.
3. Select notifications settings:
– Generate Alerts For Monitored Performance Data – Turns on email notification for alerts.
– Generate Daily Summaries of Performance Data – Performance metrics are collected every 2 hours and
emailed on a daily basis.
