Performing Threshold Queries
Threshold queries allow you to query historical data based on threshold criteria. For example, if a Storage Center experienced a spike of IO
usage, you could create a threshold query to discover the threshold denition settings that would have detected the event.
After you nd the threshold settings you need, you can use them to create a threshold denition that will automatically monitor the Storage
Center.
