Threshold Crossing Alerts Tab
Configuration > Threshold Crossing Alerts
Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCAs) are pre-emptive, user-configurable alarms triggered when specific thresholds are crossed.
They alarm on both rising and falling threshold crossing events (i.e., floor and ceiling levels). For both levels, one value raises the alarm, while another value clears it.

Appliance Capacity - triggers when an appliance reaches 95% of its total flow capacity. It is not configurable and can only be cleared by an operator.
n
File-system utilization - percent of non-Network Memory disk space filled by the appliance. This TCA cannot be disabled.
n
Tunnel latency - measured in milliseconds, the maximum latency of a one-second sample within a 60-second span
OFF by default:
n
LAN-side receive throughput - based on a one-minute average, the LAN-side receive TOTAL for all interfaces
n
WAN-side transmit throughput - based on a one-minute average, the WAN-side transmit TOTAL for all interfaces

Note  Enabled by default, there is also an Appliance Capacity TCA that triggers when an appliance reaches 95% of its total flow capacity. It doesn’t automatically clear, but can be cleared by an operator. It is also not configurable.
