Threshold Expressions
ATM/TA uses Boolean expressions to identify when a threshold is in violation. If the Boolean threshold
expression evaluates to true, the threshold is considered to be in violation.
Following are some examples of valid Boolean expressions:
TotalTransactions > 100
This expression will cause the threshold to be violated for an entity when the total transactions exceed 100.
TotalTransactions > 10 and PercentDenials > 5.3
This expression will cause the threshold to be violated if the total transactions for an entity exceed 10 and the
percent denials exceed 5.3.
EntityName = "TRAN" and PercentDenials > 10
This expression will cause the threshold to be violated only when the entity is "TRAN" and the percent denials
exceed 10.
TotalTransactions > 10 and (AvgResponseTime > 0.30 or PercentDenials > 5.3)
This expression will cause the threshold to be violated when the total number of transactions exceeds 10 and the
average response time exceeds 0.30 or the percent denials exceed 5.3.
