Thresholds
2 minute read
Thresholds provide a way to trigger events when different measurements exceed a given value. Thresholds configured at the domain level apply to all nodes in the domain, except when overridden. Events will be of type Metric Threshold Violation.
To view thresholds, a user will need domains::read permissions. To configure them, they will need domains::configure:threshold permissions.
Navigate to your domain, and click Thresholds on the left.
Load Thresholds
Load thresholds measure the health of the node itself.
Load Metrics
| Metric Type | Description | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| CPU Usage | Monitors percent of CPU usage across all cores | 95% for 10 minutes |
| Memory Usage | Monitors percent of total memory (RAM) used | 90% for 30 minutes |
| Disk Usage | Monitors percent of total disk usage for the root partition | 80% for 1 minute |
| Embrionic Flows | Monitors the number of TCP flows (connections) that are in the embryonic state (waiting for ACK) | none |
| JVM Heap | Monitors the percent of allocated JVM memory used | none |
Load Fields
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the threshold. This will be available in generated events. |
| Telemetry | The metric to monitor. Options are CPU usage (%), memory usage (%), disk usage (%), and embryonic flows (absolute count). |
| Threshold | The value that must be exceeded for an event to be generated. |
| Duration | The time period to measure. If the threshold is exceeded for this duration, an event will be generated. |
Network Thresholds
Network thresholds measure the health of the network from the node’s perspective.
Network Metrics
| Metric Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Latency (ms) | Monitors the round trip tunnel latency between this node and the target | |
| Bandwidth IN Usage (Mbps) | Monitor the amount of received bandwidth on the specified interface | |
| Bandwidth Out Usage (Mbps) | Monitors the amount of sent bandwidth on the specified interfaces |
Network Fields
| Field Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the threshold. This will be available in generated events. |
| Telemetry | The metric to monitor. Currently only latency (measured in milliseconds) is available. |
| Threshold | The value that must be exceeded for an event to be generated. |
| Duration | The time period to measure. If the threshold is exceeded for this duration, an event will be generated. |
| Target |
