Calculating meaningful thresholds with the Configuration Advisor

The Configuration Advisor calculates suggested threshold values for rules by analyzing trend data. When you apply a recommended rule threshold setting, the alerts triggered will provide a more meaningful indication of your resource's performance than if you were to arbitrarily set rule values.

The Configuration Advisor analyzes a rule's past performance for a specified period of time and, based on this data, calculates a baseline value. A baseline value is a threshold setting that is based on your system's past activity for the particular rule.

You must be an administrator user to use the Configuration Advisor.
