Dynamic network monitoring

A method for monitoring performance in a networked environment, comprising:

• multiplying a monitoring threshold associated with a first host by a multiplier, wherein the multiplier is determined based on a comparison of a length of a first edge and a second edge of a traffic triangle;
• and
• determining a monitoring threshold for a second host when a virtual machine is moved between the first host and the second host, wherein the monitoring threshold for the second host is based on both the monitoring threshold associated with the first host and a comparison between the quantified performance characteristics of the first host and the second host,

A computer program product for monitoring performance in a networked environment, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions being executable by a hardware computer device to cause the hardware computer device to:

• multiply a monitoring threshold associated with a first host by a multiplier, wherein the multiplier is determined based on a comparison of a length of a first edge and a second edge of a traffic triangle;
• and
• determine a monitoring threshold for a second host when a virtual machine is moved between the first host and the second host, wherein the monitoring threshold for the second host is based on both the monitoring threshold associated with the first host and a comparison between the quantified performance characteristics of the first host and the second host,
