Option Action
Critical Level
Select the criticality level of the hard threshold.
Threshold Operator
Select the threshold operator.
Compare Value
Type the value to compare to the hard threshold.
Wait Cycle
Type a value for the wait cycle. vCenter Operations Manager multiples the
wait cycle value by the collection interval to calculate the number of minutes
that the hard threshold must be out of bounds before generating an anomaly.
Cancel Cycle
Type a value for the cancel cycle. vCenter Operations Manager multiplies
the cancel cycle value by the collection interval to calculate the number of
minutes that the hard threshold must be in bounds before canceling an
anomaly.
9 To make a violation of a hard threshold a KPI, select the Violation of the Hard threshold is a Key
Indicator check box and select the criticality level from the Select Criticality Level at which a Hard
Threshold becomes Key Indicator drop-down menu.
The criticality level indicates the level that must be reached for a violation to be considered a KPI breach.
