   • Host Notifications: This section displays the default threshold settings for host notifications. You can change the default by entering a desired value in the applicable fields, as follows:
     
     • Host CPU Usage: This metric measures the overall CPU usage of the host. The default threshold is over 90%, which means when the host's CPU usage exceeds this number, the system will send a notification.
       
     • Host Memory Usage: This metric measures the total memory of thehost before the system sends a notification. The default is more than 90% used, which means the system will send a notification when the host's total memory usage exceeds 90%.
     • Host State: This metric measures the duration for which the host stays in Review Details state. If the host is in Review Details state for more than 300 seconds, the system sends a notification.
     • Host Disk Usage: This metric measures the total disk usage of the root file system before sending a notification. The default is more than 90% used, which means the system will deliver a notification when the host's total disk usage for the root file system exceeds 90%.
     • Host Inode Usage: This metric measures the total disk usage of all files residing on the host. The default is more than 90% used, which means the system will send a notification when the host's total inode usage exceeds 90%.
   • Service Notifications: This section displays the default threshold setting for host status. You can change the default by entering a desired value in the applicable fields. You can also select the applicable check boxes to receive alerts for the respective service status.
