Step 3: Configure alarms
Alarms act as a signal or alert that notifies you when a threshold has been crossed. You can
configure the following types of notification settings for Fabric Watch:
• Triggered
A triggered behavior type signals you once, after a threshold has been crossed. Triggered
is the default behavior type signal for all class areas.
• Continuous
A continuous behavior type signals you continuously after a threshold has been crossed.
To set an alarm, choose the type of event about which you want to receive notifications:
• Changed
Triggers an alarm every time the value of what you are monitoring is changed.
• Below
Triggers an alarm every time the value of what you are monitoring goes below the low
boundary.
• Above
Triggers an alarm every time the value of what you are monitoring goes above the high
boundary.
• In-Between
Triggers an alarm every time the value of what you are monitoring goes in between your
low and high threshold boundary.
