Setting the alarm sensitivity level

Alarms are triggered by bottlenecks in your monitored environment. Foglight for Hyper-V generates alarms when a rule determines that certain pre-defined conditions are met.

The alarm sensitivity in Foglight for Hyper-V dictates the level of alarms the system generates, stores, and displays. You can configure the level of alarm sensitivity through the Hyper-V Configuration dashboard. The alarm sensitivity level you set here applies to your entire Hyper-V infrastructure.

To set the alarm sensitivity level:
1
Log in to the Foglight browser interface.
2
Ensure that the navigation panel is open.
To open the navigation panel, click the right-facing arrow on the left.
3
On the navigation panel, under Dashboards, choose Hyper-V > Hyper-V Environment.
