Editing a threshold alert in Network Visibility

If you want to change the conditions or delivery for a threshold alert, you can edit the alert in Network Visibility. For example, you can change the utilization threshold from 50% to 75% or change the email address(es) Control Center sends a threshold alert to. If you no longer need an alert, you can delete it to stop Control Center from notifying you.

To edit a threshold alert in Network Visibility:

  1. Click Monitoring, then click Network Visibility.

    Control Center opens the Network Visibility dashboard. On the map, Control Center shows locations with services needing your attention. Tiles show services with high utilization or critical issues, services that are down or have threshold warnings, as well as open tickets and scheduled maintenance for your services. Use the Map View, List View, Backbone Performance, and Summary Reports tabs above the tiles to toggle between views.
