Monitoring your applications and environment is a key capability of SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted (formerly Hybrid Cloud Observability) and is available in the Essentials edition. Server & Application Monitor (SAM) is also available in a standalone module.

Apply baseline thresholds at the application-monitor level

The SolarWinds Platform has a set of global thresholds that apply to all monitored nodes, but you can also apply baseline thresholds at the application-monitor level for individual nodes, as described here.

You may need to log in with an administrator account to perform this action.

  1. In the SolarWinds Platform Web Console, click My Dashboards > Applications > SAM Summary.
  2. From the All Applications widget, expand the tree and then click an application.
  3. From the Application Details widget, click Edit Application Monitor.
  4. If selecting only one Component Monitor, click [+] to expand the monitor details.
    1. Click Override Template.

      The current values for the thresholds appear in the Warning and Critical fields.

    2. Click Use Latest Baseline Thresholds, as shown:

    3. When applied, the values change and a blue icon appears indicating that baseline thresholds are being used.

  1. If selecting more than one component monitor, use the check boxes to select the monitors you want to edit, and then click Multi-Edit.
    1. Click Multi-Edit.

      Multi-Edit only becomes available when the selected component monitors are of the same type.

    2. Check the Statistic Threshold check box on the pop-up window, then check the Use thresholds calculated from baseline data.

      Once the second box is checked, the Warning and Critical fields automatically populate with the macro, ${USE_BASELINE}.
