Adding threshold settings for an object

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
Using the Management Server console, you can set the threshold values for an object. An appropriate fault or risk alert is raised if the threshold value is violated.
You can also select multiple objects of the same type, such as hosts, volumes, or disks. When you select multiple objects, the previously set values are overwritten. Based on the number of objects, the operation might take a couple of minutes to complete. You can view the status in the Recent Tasks pane.
You cannot select multiple clusters in the Availability perspective, to set the threshold value.
For a cluster, the set threshold value is applicable for all the service groups within the cluster, unless it is explicitly defined on a service group.
Metric, operator, threshold, and severity type of raised alert (fault or risk) values should not be identical while setting multiple thresholds on an object.
Note: Ensure that performance metering is enabled on the host to receive the threshold violation alerts (fault or risk).
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permissions on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
