Detect link saturation

[Laurent Heyraud]

 Hello, 
 Do you have methods to detect link saturation not relying on % utilization over a certain amount of time. What would be the best method to detect the flat line highlighted in the graph ? Do you have a magic trick?
 Thanks for your time, kind regards

Hello Laurent,

I ran this by the team and engineering in case a new idea came up.

The closest we could get to detect or alert on a steady state value like that is a traditional greater than or equal to Threshold Event rule.

It might generate some false positives, but the right window/duration combination should limit the instances of false positives.

What I believe you really need is a new Event Rule option. One that compares a series of values for variance below some value.

If that's correct it's not something we have as part of the current product functionality.

This is something that would be an Enhancement Request. These are submitted via the Ideation site found here.
