When monitoring using dynamic thresholds, the thresholds are automatically calculated and set based on performance information collected from monitored user resources over a specific time period. This type of monitoring is useful when you want to detect degradation in service performance or when, for example, you have not established a service-level agreement with customers. The appropriate thresholds are automatically set according to the resource configuration and changes in the load status. For this reason, system administrators do not need to manage the threshold values. In addition, based on the importance of the applicable system, you can set the margin levels for the calculated thresholds.

To monitor using dynamic thresholds, create threshold profiles for user resources and then assign the resources you want to monitor. You can set more than one monitoring plan for each user resource threshold profile. For the monitoring plan, specify threshold values for the monitoring schedule or for each monitoring item. By creating multiple monitoring plans, you can schedule changes to the threshold values or items to be monitored.

By creating assignment rules for user resources, the discovered user resources are automatically assigned to threshold profiles in accordance with the assignment rules. You can also edit and delete the created threshold profiles or assignment rules for user resources.

Note: Changing the monitoring mode of a profile to Dynamic or Off may result in the Threshold: Could not get the value error message when a performance event of a resource monitored by that profile occurs.
