Metrics that do not have generally accepted thresholds for alarms are configured as trend alarms. The significance of trends is dependent on the environment and default settings may generate many meaningless alarms in a busy environment, while failing to fire at all in a smaller environment. Workaround: We recommended that the administrator allow the agent to collect values over an adequate period of time to observe normal performance and then adjust trend alarms to fire at suitable thresholds. |

For detailed information on how to import certificate, refer to Managing certificates section in Foglight for Active Directory User and Reference Guide. |
