Tripwire Thresholds Tab (Metrics Form)

Use the fields on this tab to set up the tripwire thresholds for the metric. Double-click on a threshold to edit it.

You use these thresholds to graphically show when a defined threshold is exceeded. Tripwire thresholds can be based on either the primary or secondary formula.

Note: If you enable the secondary formula by selecting the check box for the secondary metric, then the tripwire threshold is automatically associated with the secondary metric. If you do not select the check box, the tripwire threshold is automatically associated with the primary formula.

To edit the threshold colors, click Color in the Tripwire Thresholds menu group.

Fail Select this field to specify that if the threshold is met and/or exceeded, the metric displays as a failure when you export DCMA metric results to wInsight Analytics (on the S2 // Diagnostics > Publish menu).
