[threshold] What threshold to use ?

[mdherens]

Hi guys,

I'm setting up threshold templates and wondering...

I want to put one on the non-unicast and error graph but I don't what value would be the best ?

For the non-uniscast, I noticed on a bad device that it was experiencing 9000 packets per seconds but I think it is already too much, any thought on the level I should apply ?
Same question for errors/discards graph I don't intend to put a threshold on discard because it can be tricky with all the ACL rules. So from what error rate is it actually becoming a problem ?

I searched the internet for an answer to these questions with no luck so I think here is the best place to get an answer

Thanks for any advice !

wrong forum, moving.

IMO, you should establish a baseline of what are 'normal' amounts. Once thats done, then you can better set high/low thresholds and alert appropriately.
