Good morning everyone! There is an alert in the BIZTALK MPs that I want to enable. The monitor is NUMBER OF MESSAGES. The business wants to set a threshold of 25 on all queues. I understand all the settings on the override except for the threshold. The inner sensitivity is set to 2.81 and outer to 3.31. Are these numbers actually message numbers?? Can I just put 20 for the inner and 25 for the outer sensitivity and set only to alert on critical?? Or do these numbers mean something else? If so, how would I make it to equal 25? THanks in advance! Kevin Hittle

This would make it a self tuning threshold. Suggest disabling that monitor/rule and then creating a threshold based equivalent. If you know what counter it is looking at this is a straghtforward thing to do.Microsoft Corporation

Thanks for the reply!! I go into perfmon on one of the MSQ servers and under counters I see MSMQ QUEUE and MESSAGES IN QUEUE. So how do I setup a THRESHOLD BASED alert? Kevin

Authoring pane -> Monitors -> Windows Performance counters -> Static Threshold -> Single Threshold -> Simple threshold Follow the wizard.Regards, Marc Klaver http://jama00.wordpress.com/
