Setting Default Thresholds

Procedure

1. Choose Settings > Monitoring Settings > Monitoring Threshold > Default Threshold.
2. After selecting an object from the Object Type list, you can view all performance metrics of the object.
   

   • The functions supported by the system and the actual GUI vary depending on the imported license or selected service type.
   • Default thresholds can be configured for the following object types:
     • Converged services: Cluster, Cluster - File Service, Cluster - Object Service, Cluster - HDFS Service, Remote Replication Pair, Port, and Disk.
     • Block service: Cluster, Remote Replication Pair, Initiator, Storage Pool, Port, Volume, and Disk.
   • To select Cluster - File Service, Cluster - Object Service, or Cluster - HDFS Service, enable the corresponding service first.

3. Click Modify to modify the threshold settings in the table. Table 1 describes related parameters.

   Table 1 Threshold parameters

   Parameter	Description
   Metric Name	Name of a specific object metric. [Example] Read Bandwidth (KB/s)
   Threshold Type	Threshold type of a specific object metric. If the metric value is above or below the threshold, the system generates an alarm. The options are > and <. [Default value] > [Example] >
   Alarm Threshold	When the value of a specific object metric reaches the value of this parameter for multiple consecutive times (multiple consecutive times refers to the value of Trigger Condition (Times)), the system generates an alarm. [Default value] -- [Example] 60
   Alarm Clearance Threshold	When the value of a specific object metric reaches the value of this parameter for multiple consecutive times (multiple consecutive times refers to the value of Trigger Condition (Times)), the system clears the generated alarm. [Default value] -- [Example] 50
   Trigger Condition (Times)	When the number of times that the value of a specific object metric reaches Alarm Threshold reaches the value of this parameter, the system generates a threshold alarm. When the number of times that the value of a specific object metric reaches Alarm Clearance Threshold reaches the value of this parameter, the system clears the generated threshold alarm. [Default value] 6 [Example] 6 NOTE: You can determine the alarm sampling period based on the interval between two consecutive performance data samplings in the performance monitoring chart of the corresponding object performance metric. If the interval is less than 1 minute, the alarm sampling period is 10 seconds. If the interval is greater than or equal to 1 minute, the alarm sampling period is 1 minute.
   Severity	Severity of a threshold alarm. Possible values are Critical, Major, and Warning. [Default value] Warning [Example] Warning
   Threshold Status	Switch for controlling whether a threshold is enabled. The preceding parameters can be set only after this switch is turned on. [Default value] Disabled [Example] Enabled NOTE: If Threshold Status for a reported alarm is Disabled, the alarm will be cleared automatically.

   

   Take the parameter values in the Threshold parameters table as an example. When Threshold Status for Read Bandwidth (KB/s) is Enabled, an alarm of the Warning severity will be generated if the read bandwidth (KB/s) exceeds 60 KB/s for 6 consecutive times, and will be cleared if the read bandwidth (KB/s) falls below 50 KB/s for 6 consecutive times.

4. (Optional) Click Reset to clear the settings and restore the default settings.
