Explanation

A baseline is a collection of performance metrics gathered over time that represents the normal operation of a system or network. By establishing a baseline, the network administrator can better understand what "normal" traffic and utilization levels are, which helps in setting appropriate thresholds for alerts. After a merger, it's essential to understand the new normal for the combined environment, which will inform the adjustment of alerting thresholds and requirements. This will prevent unnecessary alerts and ensure that critical issues are highlighted effectively.
