Examples of disabled thresholds

You can disable the predefined thresholds for all agents in your environment. You can also disable thresholds individually, whether predefined or custom. When a threshold is disabled it is not running on managed systems and no events are opened. You disable a threshold by removing its resource group assignment (or assignments). An Advanced Configuration setting is also available for disabling the predefined thresholds for all agents.

Disabling a single threshold

In this image, the threshold to be disabled is selected in the Threshold Manager and the user clicks Edit:

The threshold is opened in the Threshold Editor. The user clears the check box of the assigned resource group in the Group assignment field:

After the user clicks Save, the Threshold Manager is displayed. The threshold is disabled, and the Assigned groups column is empty:

Disabling all predefined thresholds

Turn off all predefined thresholds for all monitoring agents in Advanced Configuration page, as described in Thresholds Enablement. When you next open the Threshold Manager, the Assigned groups column is empty for every predefined threshold, indicating that the thresholds are inactive:
