Defining Alert Thresholds Using a Static Baseline

After AWR baseline statistics are computed for a particular baseline, you can set metric thresholds specific to your baseline.

Compute baseline statistics directly from the Baselines page (as previously discussed). Then go to the AWR Baseline Metric Thresholds page and select the type of metrics that you want to set. When done, select a specific metric and click Edit Thresholds.

On the corresponding Edit AWR Baseline Metric Thresholds page, specify your thresholds in the Thresholds Settings section, and then click Apply Thresholds.

You can specify thresholds based on the statistics computed for your baseline. This is illustrated in the slide. In addition to “Significance Level,” the other possibilities are “Percentage of Maximum” and “Fixed Values.”

Note: After a threshold is set using Baseline Metric Thresholds, the previous threshold values are forgotten forever and the statistics from the associated baseline are used to determine the threshold values until they are cleared (by using the Baseline Metric Threshold UI or PL/SQL interface).
