The threshold type Counter Threshold can be used for example to get alerted if, in a specified time range, an interface is not executed at all.

Example:

Web Services metrics are retrieved every minute. You specify a Web Service ABC in configuration and select the metric Number of WS executions.

You expect at least some executions every few minutes and want to be alerted and notified when there is no executions at all for a longer time.
