15.2.3 Changing sensor threshold values
Job loads, usage patterns, process types, counts, memory, cache, disk subsystems, and so on
contribute input to Nagios. Nagios uses threshold values to determine whether or not to send
an alert and to determine whether that alert is critical or a warning. Nagios monitors the sensor
thresholds and generates alerts when a threshold is reached. Depending on your specific site
configuration and use, some default thresholds might not be appropriate for your system.
The platform-dependent default thresholds serve as a baseline, but they might not be optimal
for your site. You need to determine the threshold values appropriate for your site and customize
the Nagios configuration accordingly.
The /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/nagios_vars.ini file represents various constants and
variables used by plug-ins and the Nagios configuration. You can edit this file to customize
