You probably have already follow your favorite statistics diagrams via StoneGate Overviews. As you know there are hundreds of different type of statistics available and you can customize the diagram type, size and appearance as well as time period for each Overview statistics section in a really flexible way.

However, no one has time to follow the statistics 24/7. That’s why we have introduced a new “Alert threshold” feature. In SMC 5.2 version, you can graphically set a threshold line for any progress or top rate statistics. And when that threshold is exceeded, the system automatically raises an alert that you can escalate with StoneGate Alert Chains and Alert Policies as you wish. With the help of this feature you will detect faster the network anomalies such as link overloads, denial of service attacks, or any other unexpected network behavior.

For your information: from SMC 5.2 onwards, Overviews are global elements and visible to all administrators. Alert thresholds are saved to Overview element. There is a small glue icon rendered on top of all those Overview elements that contain alert thresholds. The Overview and Section names are also linked in the Alert that was raised when the threshold was exceeded.
