Configure adaptive thresholds

Last published : Sep 30, 2026
The adaptive threshold functionality sets the threshold value for the maximum number of hits on each URL. If the maximum number of hits on a URL is greater than the threshold value set for the URL, a syslog message is sent to an external syslog server. The threshold value interval can be in either days or weeks.
The threshold value is calculated as follows:
Threshold value = Max hits * Threshold multiplier
Where:
  • Max hits is the maximum number of hits on a URL.
  • Threshold multiplier is an integer value that you define (default: 2).
