Understanding threshold groups and settings

Using the Polling and Thresholds Console, you can customize ICMP and SNMP polling thresholds for the
IP Availability Manager
and the
IP Performance Manager
by modifying default threshold groups, or by creating new threshold groups.
The
IP Availability Manager
and the
IP Performance Manager
use the
settings
in a threshold group to assign threshold parameters to a particular group of managed devices, interfaces, or ports. From a polling and threshold perspective, a setting is a collection of parameters that are common to a particular type of analysis; for example, connectivity polling or environment polling.
