This may be a request for a feature, if I understand how this works
correctly:

 

For the Dartware probes that also get traffic values...

 

I keep forgetting what the percentage trigger is for utilization?  Also
what level of alert does this trigger? "Critical", "Alarm", or "Warning"
(also would be nice to have control over setting the percentage, sort of
like how we change the Interface errors...).

 

OK Interface errors threshold.  We can set this at server, map, or
device level for values that would trigger warning, alarm, or critical.
Is it correct that the "Interface errors" threshold is either the error
or discards counters per minute?

 

If the "Interface errors" counters is either errors or discards per
minute - I see a problem with this.  It is possible (and we have this
condition going on now), where because of overloaded links we get a
large amount of discards, and until the links are upgraded to higher
bandwith we have adjusted the threshold up to 10,000 per minute.  This
is great for discards, allows us to work on only the most overload links
first.  The problem is with the threshold set so high for critical, we
never get critical alerts for "errors per minute".  If we see interface
errors we want to get alerted as critical also but for a lower
threshold, since any errors usually indicate a more serious problem.

 

So is there a way to set the errors per minute threshold different from
discards per minute, if not can this be considered for a feature
request?
