Normalization Settings

You can use the following two options to convert individual measurements into rates ranging from 0 to 100:
Exponentially normalized
Between a lower and upper boundary
Linearly normalized
Between a lower and upper boundary
There is no difference between calculating performance rates for timers and calculating performance rates for counters. Both are treated the same, thereby enabling health rate comparisons. The default setting for Monitoring Console is exponential normalization, but you can change this setting to linear normalization. This setting is used for all health calculations in Monitoring Console. This feature is only supported by Monitoring Console. The following graph illustrates linear in comparison to exponential normalization. For this chart, times are measured in seconds. A lower bound of 15 s is used with a rating of 20%, and an upper bound of 5 s is used with a rating of 80%.
