Flow threshold
A threshold is a value that is compared against the predefined threshold configurations. It is evaluated to see whether it violates a specific restriction. The primary objective of thresholding is to determine any violations and to generate alerts. When the value falls outside the acceptable threshold range, the system generates and stores the event condition and forwards it to the Event Management System.
Static thresholds
Static (Burst) thresholding is user-defined static values at specific intervals, which analyze data and generate events when a violation occurs.If your IBM® Netcool® Operations Insight® solution is integrated with Network Performance Insight, then you can define static thresholds for anomaly detection.
You can define a static threshold for a KPI within the poll definition that polls for that KPI. If these static thresholds are violated for any performance measure on a device or interface, IBM Tivoli® Netcool/OMNIbus events are generated at an appropriate severity level.
Thresholds define the status of an attribute based on specific conditions. You can enable threshold evaluation on a selected resource or interface. A threshold is violated when the result of the collected metric value is evaluated as exceeding (upper) or dropping (lower) to a specified configured threshold level. The actual evaluation and disposition depends on the threshold type, Upper, Lower, or Band.
