MCP Threshold Condition Alert Identifiers

The following table lists identifiers for threshold alerts for MCP systems. One of these alerts is raised when the corresponding system parameter violates the threshold expression that the Operations Sentinel administrator has specified for it.

See the MCP Threshold Properties for more information on MCP system thresholds.
