Configuring a failed connections threshold
To configure a Flow failed connections threshold:
1 Click the Alert Center tab.
2 Click Threshold Library. The Alert Center Threshold Library dialog appears.
3 Click New. The Select Threshold Type dialog appears.
4 Select Flow Monitor Failed Connections, then click OK. The New Flow Monitor Failed
Connections Threshold dialog appears.
5 Specify or select the appropriate information in the dialog fields:
Name. Specify a name for the threshold. This name helps you identify the threshold in
the Threshold library and displays as the report title on the Alert Center Home page.
Threshold. Select and enter the desired threshold criteria variables and values. The
default threshold is exceeded when when a host has sent or received more than 1000
failed connections in the past 15 minutes.
Note: WhatsUp Gold Flow Monitor can only find failed connections on sources that are not
sending sampled data.
Traffic to monitor. Select the Flow Monitor source or interface from which to monitor
traffic.
When you select a source, traffic for all interfaces on the source is monitored. When
you select an interface, only traffic for the selected interface is monitored.
By default, the threshold is set to monitor traffic from all Flow Monitor sources.
