Define baselines for nodes in the SolarWinds Platform

Using the baseline feature, you can display baselines on different charts in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.

Define a baseline for an individual node

1. Click Edit thresholds on the resource, and select the thresholds you want to edit.
2. Select Override Global Orion Threshold or Set Dynamic Threshold, and set either a static threshold, or click Use Dynamic Baseline Thresholds to define a formula for calculating a baseline. For information about threshold types, see Thresholds in the SolarWinds Platform.
3. Click Submit.

Define a baseline for multiple nodes

1. Click Settings > All Settings > Node & Group Management > Manage Virtual Devices in the SolarWinds Platform Web Console.
2. Click the Thresholds tab.
3. Select the entity type for which you want to configure a baseline threshold from the Show list.
4. Select the nodes for which you want to configure a baseline.
5. Click Edit Thresholds, and select the thresholds you want to edit.
6. Select Override Global Orion Threshold or Set Dynamic Threshold, and set either a static threshold, or click Use Dynamic Baseline Thresholds to define a formula for calculating a baseline.
7. Click Submit.

For example, to configure thresholds for all virtual machines under a given host, first select all vNodes, and deselect the vNodes for which you do not want to define thresholds.
