You can create health rules to monitor the parameters that represent the normal or expected operations for your business transactions (BT). The parameters rely on metric values, for example, the average response time. 

When the performance of a business transaction violates the conditions set by a health rule, a health rule is violated. Alerts notify you of any violation and initiate remediation actions to mitigate the violation event. 

It is important that you configure alerts appropriately to ensure that you do not miss any alerts or receive false alerts. You can use Alert Sensitivity Tuning (AST) to configure alerts with appropriate sensitivity. AST provides historical data for the metric or the baseline being configured and helps you visualize the impact of the alerting configuration. See Alert Sensitivity Tuning Questions and Answers.

Create a BT Health Rule and Fine-Tune Metric Evaluation

You can create a health rule to monitor BT parameters and fine-tune the sensitivity of a BT health rule using AST. See Create a Health Rule and Fine-tune Metric Evaluation for instructions.
