# Adjust Monitoring

In this section you may see how to configure some of the advanced options of a module (thresholds, units, others).

# Module Advanced Properties

Go to the agent modules view.

Select the module you wish to configure.

Then open the **Advanced Options** tab and proceed to configure the desired fields.

In the next two sections you will see how to configure the **Unit** and **Interval** fields and the **Warning Status** and **Critical Status** thresholds.

# Module Unit Setup

It allows to define the units of the data obtained in a module. This unit will be included in graphs and reports, so that it is easier to interpret the data displayed to the user.

For example, if you have % as unit: Go to the **Unit** field and type the desired unit.

Finally, click the **Update** button to save and verify that the unit is correctly displayed in the module view.

# Module Interval Setup

Configuring or modifying the module interval will define how often the module is executed. This affects remote modules (not running locally), since local modules are configured in a somewhat more complex way. **The more frequently a remote system is monitored, the more load it will generate on the system.**

Click **Update** and the module will be configured.

# Module Threshold Setup

In this section you will configure the **Warning** and **Critical** thresholds for a module with the values that a module must have to be in a `CRITICAL`, `WARNING` or `NORMAL` state.

In this example you have a CPU module to add thresholds to. This module will always be in `NORMAL` (green) state as long as it is between 0% and 100%. If you want this module to be displayed in **Critical** or **Warning** status when the CPU reaches a certain percentage, you must configure it by determining the desired **Warning Status** and **Critical Status** thresholds. In this example for when the CPU reaches 90% usage the module will switch to **Warning** status and if it exceeds 95%, it will switch to **Critical**.

After configuring the thresholds, just click **Update** and the thresholds will be correctly configured. The next data received will already interpret these thresholds.

# Threshold Advanced Parameters

The **Inverse interval** checkbox is used to define non-contiguous ranges. In this example, the module will change to the critical state if the value is below 20 or above 80:

In string modules, the threshold is defined as a substring. Similarly, it can be inverted so that the module goes into `CRITICAL` if it does **not** contain the substring passed as parameter:

# Other Advanced Parameters

Module configuration is very flexible, with dozens of possibilities. In Pandora FMS documentation you may discover all of them.
