Display alert threshold on graphs

Is it possible to place a line representing a datapoint alert threshold on the datapoint graph? If not, would you consider this capability for a future version?

Example: our threshold for SQL WorkTables is set at 450. It would be nice to see this value as an overlay on the chart, like this..

Maybe not the most important enhancement, but we'd like it.
Thanks. We continue to enjoy the service and support of LogicMonitor.

  • This is currently not a functionality, but it would be a sweet feature, agreed. I have voiced your request internally. But, in the interim while we are waiting for this feature, a similar effect can be achieved by manually adding a complex/virtual datapoint in your graph, with a number constant that represents your static threshold.

  • Good idea, and we will try that on a few of our graphs, but its a pretty monumental task to add a virtual datapoint manually to all the graphs in our system. Having this as a default feature that could be globally enabled would be *very* helpful. Thanks for the reply.

  • This often comes up, but its a tricky issue, because the things we graph (say, total disk space, and used disk space, in GB) are not necessarily the things we alert on (such as percentage of disk space in use).  So we could do it for those graphs where the alert threshold is set on a datapoint that is graphed, but that would be inconsistent.  Were still mulling this.

  • How about just adding a datapoint that's static on your graph? (i.e. a complex datapoint that just returns a number, that number being your threshold) that way you could decide what threshold line you'd want to display. going further in an additional release maybe have a threshold datapoint for the graph that would allow you to choose which threshold you'd like to display on the graph. This would give a large amount of customization.
