# Monitoring settings

The **Monitoring Settings** functionality allows you to add colors to thresholds to identify Warning and Critical levels for better aid to Administrators or helpdesk.

To configure monitoring settings, in the **Sessions** category or **Sessions** tabs, click **Tasks** > **Monitoring settings**. The dialog opens where you can configure settings for various session metrics:

1. Select a metric for which you want to enable color coding.
2. Specify a threshold in the **Warning** and **Critical** columns. The Warning threshold is denoted by the orange color. The Critical threshold is denoted by the red color.
3. If you want to see just the Critical color (red), then set both thresholds to the same value, in which case only the red color will be used when the threshold is reached.

When a metric with color coding enabled is below any of the specified thresholds, it is highlighted with the green color in the session list. When a threshold is reached, the value of a metric is highlighted using the corresponding threshold color (orange or red). Note that critical threshold value can be greater or equal to warning threshold value. In case both warning and critical values are equal then the critical color coding is used which is red.

Monitoring Settings are set globally, which means that other RAS admins will be able to see and change them.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parallels.com/landing/ras-admin-guide/parallels-ras-21-administrators-guide/session-management/monitoring-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
