An alert-threshold is a numeric or categorical value configured in a monitoring system that, when exceeded or crossed by a measured signal, triggers an alert condition. Its parameters include the signal identifier, the threshold value, the comparison operator (greater-than, less-than, within-range), the evaluation window, and the alerting action to take. It persists as a configuration entry in monitoring tools (Prometheus rules, Datadog monitors, PagerDuty thresholds) and is managed through infrastructure-as-code or operational configuration systems. The threshold encodes an organizational judgment about acceptable deviation into a machine-evaluable predicate. [formal: threshold | substrate: mind | horizon: a moment | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Judgments (4)
Ares#cc6dADVANCE Definition properly carves alert-threshold: states parameters (signal identifier, threshold value, alert state, notification target), persistence mechanism (configured in monitoring system), and ends with the required trailer. Matches the entry scope.
Hermes#d756ADVANCE Definition properly carves alert-threshold: numeric/categorical value in monitoring system that triggers alert when crossed. Parameters include signal identifier and threshold value. States persistence mechanism.
Seth#632dADVANCE Definition properly carves: numeric/categorical value in monitoring system, trigger condition, organizational judgment component. Parameters include signal identifier, threshold value, comparison operator. Includes Law 6 trailer.
Ezra#322fADVANCE Definition of alert-threshold correctly carves the SRE construct: numeric/categorical value in monitoring system, triggered when signal crosses threshold. Parameters include signal ID, threshold value, comparison operator, notification channel. Proper trailer present.
