Managing thresholds means selecting/modifying the mechanism by which EMC Disk Arrays KM for PATROL sets thresholds for all parameters of the monitored components. By default, EMC Disk Arrays KM for PATROL automatically sets alert thresholds on the monitored parameters.
To modify the threshold mechanism:
| 1. | Right-click the KM main icon > KM Commands > KM Settings > Additional Settings > Threshold Mechanism Selection... |
Threshold Mechanism Selection
| 2. | Select one of the following options: |
| • | Tuning: If selected, the KM will manage its thresholds through the standard internal PATROL mechanism (Override parameters). Thresholds are stored in the PATROL Agent configuration under the /___tuning___ tree. |
| • | Event Management: If this option is selected, the KM will manage its thresholds through the Event Management mechanism. Thresholds are stored in the PATROL Agent configuration under the /AS tree. This option requires that you set up the PATROL for Event Management KM on your PATROL Agent. PATROL for Event Management has to be enabled and preloaded.
If you use PATROL for Event Management to manage thresholds in PATROL, it is strongly recommended that you use this option in EMC Disk Arrays KM for PATROL too. |
| • | No Thresholds: EMC Disk Arrays KM for PATROL will not set any thresholds on the monitored objects. You are required to set them manually. |
 In order to avoid side effects and unpredictable behavior, if you change the threshold mechanism (from “Event Management” to “Tuning” or the other way around), the KM will automatically recreate the default thresholds settings using the new threshold mechanism. Manually customized thresholds however are not automatically migrated.
