SVC - Multiple Thresholds

We like to see warnings on Pool usage but in a critical situation…a warning isn't enough. Today many warnings come through the system especially with Global Mirror….warning for pool space usage get lost easily. A warning with a higher criticality such as an Error or “HOT” warning would fix this problem….kinda like a helpdesk ticket that throws a red flag up and calls out to an admin because it is extremely important…but you aren't in a down state yet.

    With the consistent risk and concern with over-provisioning it would be valuable to have multiple thresholds for SVC warnings when pools fill up. Today you recieve one warning....having another threshold hitting the error state before filling the pool will significantly reduce the risk of over-provisioning.
