Threshold check. Enter a value for the threshold check interval, or the interval at
which the Alert Center checks the WhatsUp Gold database to see if there are items
that are outside the threshold parameters.
Note: Configure the threshold check interval for a longer time than the sampling interval for
thresholds relating to trends, such as percent utilization. Configure it for a time the same as
(or similar to) the sampling interval when configuring a threshold for a health check.
Avoid setting the threshold check interval to a very short time as this can degrade system
performance. In general, setting the threshold check interval to less than five minutes is
inadvisable.
6 Click OK to save the threshold.
