The use of static thresholds suffers in situations where the performance of a business application is affected by a heavy load in normal peak hour. This could e.g. be longer response times on the domain controllers in the morning when a lot of employees boot and login to their computers.
With static thresholds, you will have to choose between false negatives during normal peak hours or not getting notified until things are really bad.
With Adaptive Baselining you will only be notified when performance is significantly worse than expected based on the historical data collected. The Adaptive Baselining takes into account the server, IP address, port, and protocol as well as from which subnet the computers access to application servers

The location administration page has been improved to support drag and drop movement of agent groups and locations. Please check the builtin built-in dashboard 'Getting Started' for an introduction video for this section.

The administration of applications have has been simplified for much easier understanding and faster configuration. Please check the builtin built-in dashboard 'Getting Started' for an introduction video for this section.
This version does not use the server and port groups like previous versions - an application is simply defined by servers and ports directly.
During an upgrade, applications will be automatically created or updated in the following way
...
- It is now possible to specify the resolution of your data instead of only having the automatic resolution.
- A 'Statistics' pane have has been added to provide a quick overview of statistics for the series on the graph. These will be shown below the graph when printing.
- Thresholds are now shown on the graphs. They can be toggled on and off.

- In a sunburst, all locations with activity is are shown
- Color coding helps identify locations where many of the users accessing an application is affected by performance issues
- If only a section of the location hierarchy is affected, probably you should look at the network
- If all locations are equally affected, probably you should look at the application servers
- Application Impact for Locations
- Show a timeline for locations and present color-coded information on the performance impact
