5 Threshold and Port configuration
APM provides you some extra configuration management functions:
• Threshold Configuration—enables you set threshold conditions for the monitoring
application indexes. If the collected indexes meet the threshold, system sends a corresponding
alarm.
• Port Configuration—enables you set a default listening port for the application. Auto
Discovery function scans the applications running in the host through the default listening port
automatically.
Threshold Configuration
Threshold configuration function enables you to set the threshold for each monitor index, which is
different according to the application type. There are two level thresholds provided. When the index
value meets them, IMC activate the related alarms. You can check the alarm details in the IMC alarm
module.
There are two types of threshold:
• Global Threshold
Global threshold is used to set threshold for an application group. Because some similar applications in
a group have the same monitor index, operator can configure the threshold value for them at one time.
The default value is disabled.
• User defined Threshold
Custom threshold is used to monitor a signal application. You can set a custom threshold in the
application monitor report or custom monitor. If a new adding application, it will use the globe
threshold by default. Change it in the application monitor report or custom monitor if you need.
