This topic discusses how to configure baselines. For an overview of baselines see Detect Anomalies Using Dynamic Baselines.

   AppDynamics lists all available baselines, both preconfigured and any created by you.
   

2. Select the baseline that you want to modify.

    AppDynamics displays the configuration details.
3. Select the trend-type you want to use.
4. Select the time period type and the time range for that type.
5. Click Save.
