Static thresholds
DESK infrastructure monitoring is based on numerous built-in, predefined static thresholds. These thresholds relate to resource contentions like CPU spikes, memory, and disk usage. You can change these default thresholds by navigating to Settings > Anomaly Detection > Infrastructure.
For applications and services, you can disable automated baselining-based reference-value detection anytime and switch to user-defined static thresholds. If you set a static threshold for response time and error rate on an application or service level, events will be raised if the static threshold is breached. A slowdown event is raised if the static thresholds for either the median or the 90th percentile response times are breached.

As static thresholds don't adapt to changing environments and require too much manual effort, DESK also offers intelligent, automated multi-dimensional baselining, which works out of the box, without manual configuration of thresholds. Most importantly, it adapts automatically to changes in traffic patterns.
