Threshold configuration for AWS network load balancer

Site24x7 supports two different threshold profiles for your Elastic Load Balancing service, one at the network load balancer level and one at the individual Target group level. When a new network load balancer gets added as a monitor, a default threshold profile gets associated with it. This profile doesn't have any prepopulated metric values, you can either edit the default profile or create yourself a new one.

To create a new threshold profile for your network load balancer, follow the steps mentioned below:

Create a new threshold profile for network load balancer

To create a new threshold profile for your network load balancer node follow the below mentioned steps

Select Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability
In the Threshold and Availability screen click on Add Threshold Profile
Select Network Load Balancer from the Monitor Type dropdown and provide an appropriate label in the Display Name field for identification purpose.

Suppress alert when there are no registered targets (instances/IPs) in the Target Group: When you set this option to Yes, it suppresses alerts for target groups with no attached targets. This helps you to prevent unnecessary alerts when there are no targets in a target group, with the anticipation that targets will be attached in the future.

Performance counters supported for the network load balancer will be shown under the Threshold Configuration section. You can configure values, set up alert conditions and alert strategies on an individual attribute level. By default only two attributes are shown, you can select more by clicking on the Select Attributes option. Based on the value of the metric relative to a threshold, alerts will be triggered

Detailed performance metrics for network load balancer are listed here.
