Baseline Threshold Macros

The baseline threshold macros can only be used when editing an application or a template. These macros cannot be used in alerts.

Macro Description
${USE_BASELINE}

Currently used baseline. Cannot be used with math functions. Can only be used in the threshold fields of individual SAM component monitors.

${MEAN}

Current Mean or Average. Can be used with math functions.

${STD_DEV)

Standard Deviation. Can be used with math functions.

${USE_BASELINE} cannot be used with math functions. To have this information available for use as Warning and Critical thresholds, replace ${USE_BASELINE} with the following formulas:

  • Warning: ${MEAN} + 2 * ${STD_DEV} (or ${MEAN} - 2 * ${STD_DEV})
  • Critical: ${MEAN} + 3 * ${STD_DEV} (or ${MEAN} - 3 * ${STD_DEV})
