> #### Comparing and selecting threshold settings

> By default, the Configuration Advisor assumes that you are going to select and submit one of the recommended threshold settings.The Update field for each rule is selected by default; however, you have options concerning the selection process. As you compare the existing and recommended values, you can elect to change none, some, or all values for a rule and each individual monitoring plan.

> To compare and select threshold settings:

> 1. For the one disk rule, note the value that displays in the Current Threshold field under a specific schedule.
> 2. Click the Recommend Values drop-down arrow to display all recommended values for the associated rule.
> 3. Compare the possible recommended values that display with the value in the Current Threshold field. As you determine the best threshold rule setting, keep your goals for this rule in mind. Also, consider any additional selection criteria as you compare values.

> ##### Additional selection criteria

> Reasons for selecting one value and not another may include:

> - How often you want alerts generated.
> - Your knowledge of your system's operational needs and goals.
> - Any other factors unique to your resource's performance that you want to consider in making your selection.
