Setting Alarm Thresholds
Each object you choose is associated with a horizontal slide bar and a
meter:
• The position of the red marker on the slide bar identifies the
threshold of percentage usage at which to raise an alarm. The
numeric value is shown in the % Threshold field.
• The percentage value shown by the blue meter indicates the current
usage of the disk by that object.
If the threshold indicated by the slide bar is exceeded, an audible alarm is
generated and the Alarm button in the Main window turns red.
To change the alarm threshold of a selected object, use one of the
following methods:
