Consider a certain situation that our operator would like to be aware of in the event that it occurred.  Certainly there are many situations we would like to be aware of before our boss (or customer) tells us about it.  It is with these situations in mind we should consider provisioning thresholding in NMIS.

Thresholding

Thresholding can be accomplished with the following steps:

• Add statistics extraction to the Common-stats.nmis file
• Test the newly provisioned thresholding policy.
• Consider advanced threshold using controls.

Thresholds used to drive event reporting can be created based on any measurable attribute.  In this example we'll cover something in the systemHealth section.
