Threshold and Availability for VMware Cluster Monitor

Threshold profiles help the Alarms Engine decide if a specific resource is Critical or in Trouble. After adding a VMware Cluster for monitoring, you can configure thresholds for critical performance metrics and receive alerts that you can use to avoid issues and resolve them instantly.

A default Threshold and Availability profile for VMware Cluster monitors will be automatically listed on the Threshold and Availability screen when you use it for the first time. You can add new ones using the steps below:
