Threshold Configuration

The Threshold Configuration dashboard is an administration dashboard with restricted access to users of the Splunk App for VMware who have administration privileges. If you do not have these privileges, then you cannot access this dashboard.

Use the Threshold Configuration dashboard to configure threshold settings for performance metrics that have default threshold set for them in the Splunk App for VMware. All metrics listed on this page can be found in VMware's PerformanceManager or VMware VirtualMachineQuickStats unless it is a Splunk defined metric.
