Set thresholds for an alert condition

When you create a condition, you set personalized thresholds that determine what will open an incident. This document explains what thresholds are and how to set them.

What is a threshold?

For a condition, thresholds are the settings that determine what opens an incident. Depending on a policy's issue creation preference, and any workflows you may have configured, an incident may result in:

  • The creation of an issue
  • Notifications being sent

There are two types of thresholds:

  • Static: One value set by you.
  • Anomaly: An anomaly threshold uses past data to dynamically predict the data's near-future behavior. This will adjust over time as it learns the patterns of your data.

Examples of thresholds:

  • An application's average web response time is greater than 5 seconds for 15 minutes.
  • An application's error rate per minute hits 10% or higher at least once in an hour.
  • An application's AJAX response time deviates a certain amount from its expected behavior.

Besides a critical threshold level, you can also set thresholds for a less serious warning level.
