 ===== Filling thresholds =====
-As mentioned above, there is no easy way to edit a threshold value.  A script exists to set each data source's threshold value to a default value, unless one has already been set. This script is located in ''$NAVINSTALL/bin'' with the name ''fillthresholds.py''.  To change the predefined threshold value, edit the config file for this script. It is located in ''$NAVINSTALL/etc'' with the name ''fillthresholds.conf''.  Enter a percentage value here, which will be set on every data source when ''fillthresholds.py'' is run.
+Threshold manager can be used to set alert-thresholds for data
+sources on specific interfaces, list all thresholds and bulk update
+thresholds.
+It contains an advanced search for choosing netboxes and/or interfaces
+for bulk update.
+It is possible to use both actual and percentage values,- and if an
+alert should be triggered if traffic-load is less or greater than the
+configured value.  Percentage values are is supplied by entering a trailing percent character. Percentage values are only legal when a max-value is defined
+==== List all thresholds ====
+All threshold are listed by supplying the url /threshold/all/.  Thresholds are grouped together by
+netbox-names.
+{{:threshold_all_collapsed.png|}}
+To take a look at configured thresholds, click the plus-icon.
+{{:threshold_all_expanded.png|}}
+In this view all input-fields are editable,- and it is possible edit the values and save.  To hide the detailed view, click on the minus-icon.
+==== Set thresholds for interfaces ====
+The interface is shown with all possible data-sources.
+{{:threshold_set_interface_thresholds.png|}}
+As you will notice it is possible to supply percentage values for //ifHCInOctets// and //IfHCOutOctets// because a max-value is defined,- while the rest must be actual values.
+==== Bulk update thresholds ====
+Bulk update is started by first selecting data-source.  The reason for this is that some data-sources can only be applied to netboxes and some only to interfaces.
+{{:threshold_choose_datasource.png|}}
+To set a threshold for cpu-load we could choose //cpu5min// and the corresponding netboxes that are able to supply this information are displayed.
+{{:threshold_set_netbox_threshold.png|}}
+Further refinement for filtering out unwanted netboxes is possible by supplying systemname, category, vendor and type.
+{{:threshold_set_netbox_threshold_sysname.png|}}
+If you choose a data-source that applies to interfaces you will get 2 search boxes,- both for netboxes and interfaces.
+{{:threshold_setinterface_datasource.png|}}
+By chosing netbox on the left only those interfaces that belongs to the chosen netbox will be displayed in the search-box for interfaces.  In addition you are able to filter on interface-names and up- or down-links.
+When you are satisfied with the search, select netboxes or interfaces and press //Continue//.
+{{:threshold_set_cpu5min_threshold.png|}}
+You are now able to to set threshold values for the given data-source on all the displayed netboxes or interfaces. You may select/deselect all by clicking on the checkbox in the upper left corner of the table or choose individually.  Nothing is saved before you press //Save checked// or //Save all//.  I believe you have got it now... ;)
