14 Edit the High stress threshold value and set it to 2000ms. This sets the
Warning stress threshold value to 1500ms, which is above the normal
response time range for this service monitor.
By setting the thresholds so that the normal response time range is below
the warning threshold you ensure that the monitor will not generate
events when the mail server is responding normally. As the high
threshold is set to 2000ms, any future occurrences of the network event
that caused the response time of the mail server to increase to over
2400ms will cause an error event, informing you of the problem when it
is still occurring.
15 Close the Threshold Settings dialog box by clicking OK.
16 Repeat steps 12 – 15 for the SMTP Service and POP3 Service monitors.
