Threshold settings

The Thresholds tab defines the latency levels used to classify host status. These thresholds determine the colour coding shown throughout the application.

Latency thresholds

Good (green)

The maximum latency in milliseconds for a host to be considered in good condition. The default is 50 ms. Hosts responding below this value are shown with a green status indicator.

Degraded (yellow)

The latency threshold above which a host is considered degraded. The default is 200 ms. Hosts with latency between the good and degraded thresholds are shown in yellow.

Critical (red)

The latency threshold above which a host is considered in critical condition. The default is 500 ms. Hosts exceeding this value are shown with a red status indicator.

How thresholds affect status

The host status is determined by its latency classification:

• A host with 30 ms latency → Good (green)
• A host with 300 ms latency → Degraded (yellow)
• A host with 600 ms latency → Critical (red)
• A host that does not respond → Offline (red)

Per-host overrides

Individual hosts can use custom threshold values instead of the global defaults. To configure per-host thresholds, right-click a host and select Edit, then enable Use custom settings (override global defaults) in the host editing dialog. This is useful when different hosts have different expected latency ranges. For example, a local server versus a host on another continent.
