A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Threshold State

The Threshold State tab in the QA Probes Form displays a quick summary of the most recent performance of the network element on which the QA probe runs.

This tab displays only those metrics on which the administrator has configured a threshold.

When the network performance breaches a threshold depending on the count-based, or time-based threshold configuration, the Status tab displays the network element status as Major and the Incident tab displays a Critical incident raised on the network element.

This tab displays the following details:

Field Name	Description
State	The threshold state of the probe. The valid threshold states are listed below: High Nominal Low Not Polled Unavailable Threshold Not Set None For more information about the threshold states, see Threshold States.
Metric Name	The name of the metric.
Type	The type of threshold configured. It can be Count-Based or Time-Based.
Value	This value indicates the high threshold value, measured in milliseconds or microseconds.
Rearm Value	The Rearm Value is used to indicate the end of the threshold state and NNM iSPI Performance for QA clears the incident once it reaches below this value, measured in milliseconds or microseconds.
Trigger Count	Indicates after how many consecutive threshold violations NNM iSPI Performance for QA alerts the operator by transitioning the threshold state to High. This field value appears for Count-based threshold configuration.
Duration	Indicates the minimum duration for which the value must persist in a high value range for the threshold state to change to High. This field value appears for Time-based threshold configuration.
Duration Window	Indicates the duration of the window within which the high duration criteria must be met. This field value appears for Time-based threshold violations.

Threshold States

The following table describes the threshold states:

Threshold States
State	Description
High	For Count-Based Threshold Configuration: Indicates that the measured value of the metric is above the configured High Value and recurs for the consecutive number of times specified in the Trigger Count. For Time-Based Threshold Configuration: Indicates that the measured value of the metric is above the configured High Value and this high value persists for the specified High Duration within the High Duration Window.
Nominal	Indicates that the measured value of the metric is within the normal healthy range.
Low	For Count-Based Threshold Configuration: Indicates that the measured value of the metric is below the configured Low Value for the consecutive number of times specified in the Trigger Count. For Time-Based Threshold Configuration: Indicates that the measured value of the metric is below the configured Low Value and this low value persists for the specified Low Duration within the Low Duration Window. Typically, this threshold state is applicable for metrics such as Mean Opinion Score (MOS).
Not Polled	Indicates that the metric is intentionally not polled. Some of the possible reasons are: The parent Node or Interface is set to Not Managed or Out of Service. The metric is not supported for the particular entity. For example, for an ICMP probe, Jitter and Packet Loss metrics are not supported and so the threshold states for these metrics are displayed as "Not Polled".
Unavailable	Unable to compute the metric, or the computed value is outside the valid range.
Threshold Not Set	Indicates that the threshold is not set for the metric.
None	For Count-Based Threshold Configuration: Indicates that the measured value of the metric is zero, and recurs for the consecutive number of times specified in the Trigger Count. For Time-Based Threshold Configuration: Indicates that the measured value of the metric is zero and this zero value persists for the specified duration within the High or Low Duration Window (depending on the metric).
