Configure the SNMP monitoring thresholds in the command line of the Security Management Server. When you install the policy on the gateways the SNMP monitoring thresholds are applied globally to all gateways.
Configuring in Multi-Domain Security Management
In a Multi-Domain Security Management environment, you can configure thresholds on the Multi-Domain Server and on each individual Domain Management Server. Thresholds that you configure on the Multi-Domain Server are for the Multi-Domain Server only. Thresholds that you configure for a Domain Management Server are for that Domain Management Server and its gateways. If a threshold applies to the Multi-Domain Server and the Domain Management Server gateways, set it on the Multi-Domain Server and Domain Management Server. But in this situation you can only get alerts from the Multi-Domain Server if the threshold passed.
For example, because the Multi-Domain Server and Domain Management Server are on the same machine, if the CPU threshold is passed, it applies to both of them. But only the Multi-Domain Server generates alerts.
You can see the Multi-Domain Security Management level for each threshold with the threshold_config utility.
Configuring a Local Gateway Policy
You can configure SNMP thresholds locally on a gateway with the same procedure that you do on a Security Management Server. But each time you install a policy on the gateway, the local settings are erased and it reverts to the global SNMP threshold settings.
You can use the threshold_config utility to save the configuration file and load it again later.
On Gaia, the configuration file that you can back up is: $FWDIR/conf/thresholds.conf
