Determining whether Adaptive Thresholds are Correct

Even though Enterprise Manager will use the adaptive threshold settings to determine an accurate target workload-metric threshold match, it is still be necessary to match the metric sampling schedule with the actual target workload. For example, your moving window baseline period (see Moving Window Baseline Periods ) should match the target workloads. In some situations, you may not know the actual target workloads, in which case setting adaptive thresholds may be problematic.

To help you determine the validity of your adaptive thresholds, Enterprise Manager allows you to analyze threshold using various adaptive settings to determine whether the settings are correct.

To analyze existing adaptive thresholds:

  1. From the Register Adaptive Metrics region, click Analyze Thresholds.

    Analyze Threshold button

    The Analyze Threshold page displays containing historical metric data charts (one for each metric).

  2. Modify the adaptive threshold parameters to closely match metric threshold settings with the target workload. You can experiment with the following adaptive metric parameters:

    Threshold Change Frequency


    threshold change requency

    Threshold Based On


    threshold based on

    Metric Warning and Critical Thresholds


    Metric Warning and Critical Thresholds

  3. Once you are satisfied with the modifications for the Threshold Change Frequency or any of the individual metrics, click Save to set the new parameters.
