5.6.1.1 Trending and Alerting
Operations Manager can view performance trends within a 72-hour period. When
thresholds are crossed, an alert is generated. See the user guide appendix for details on
the archived files.

5.6.1.2 Capacity Planning Use
Archive the performance data periodically (within 72 hours). Use this data to view longer
trends (longer than 72 hours). Excel, for example, can be used to view .csv files. See the
user guide appendix for details on the archived files.

5.6.2 Polling and Thresholds
5.6.2.1 How Do I Change Polling and Threshold Values?
From the Service Level View, right-click a device and select Polling Parameters. You can
also access polling parameters from Administration > Polling and Thresholds.
If you change some server settings, e.g. "managed state" to "false" so as monitoring is
disabled, upon rebooting the server all settings return to default. To ensure that OM
persists these changes, one needs to manually go to the Administration-->Polling And
Threshold --> Apply Changes and click on "Apply". [One caveat here is that OM
sometimes disallows "Apply" under some conditions. In such cases, one can make an
"Apply" to go through by changing some polling settings, and then retrying the "Apply"
operation.]

Manager of Managers (MOM).
