Setting the Failure and Downtime Filtering Horizons

The filtering horizons are used on standard table configurations and charts to filter the items listed. For example, if the first horizon is set to 15 months, the configurations show failures and downtime incidents that have occurred in the last fifteen months. If the remaining PF interval horizon is set to 2 weeks, the configuration shows failures with PF intervals that will elapse in two weeks.

In failure settings, you can set the horizon to use for filtering failures and downtime incidents. You can also set the remaining PF interval value.

Tip: You can also click the Administration menu, Performance Management Settings, and then Failure Event Management. The Failure Event Management Settings dialog appears.

2.	Click Edit to modify the site settings. The Edit button is replaced by the Save button.

3.	Select the Options tab.
