Viewing Resource Monitors and Thresholds
Look at your resource monitor configuration to understand the parameters set that could generate
alerts and determine whether changes are needed as the network changes. Resource monitor
configuration settings include:
• General Monitor and Retention options that are common to all different monitor types.
• Monitor Options that specify monitor targets and options specific to a monitor type.
• Calculated Metrics, where you create attributes that are calculated from existing monitor
attributes.
• Thresholds, where you set threshold intervals on attributes in the monitor.
• Inventory Mapping, where you associate predefined inventory metrics with a monitored
attribute to normalize the attribute if an VNF does not report metrics in a way that matches
the monitored attribute’s name or format. Available metrics include CPU utilization
percentage, memory utilization percentage, bandwidth utilization percentage, and so on.
• Conditions, where you define conditions.
For a detailed description of this portlet and its options, see
