Using SystemAlert  113 
9-3 Thresholds and Threshold Groups 
You set threshold conditions for a SystemInsight metric. When these conditions are met, SystemAlert issues an 
alarm. 
1.  Any number of thresholds can be combined into a threshold group with a special alert behavior for the 
entire group. 
2.  The triggering condition of a threshold group is based on the alert status of its individual members. A group 
can be triggered into alert status when any threshold in the group reaches alert status or when all 
thresholds in the group reach alert status. 
3.  Before you can create or modify threshold and group alarms and define alarm behavior, you must be in the 
Expert Mode.
