What does Disable Fault Analysis for Interface/Port threshold setting do?

Setting "Disable Fault Analysis for Interface/Port" is also disabling Performance Analysis in Thresholds setting.

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

Disable Fault Analysis for Interface/Port will remove the instrumentation object for the Interface/Port and will prevent connectivity status polling of this Interface/Port Threshold group.  No SNMP Fault Analysis Poll will be gathered for Interfaces or Ports that's belong on this group.  Current design is even if "Disable Performance Analysis for Interface/Port" is not selected, Performance Analysis will still be disabled.  

Example of Disable Fault Analysis set to TRUE:

<BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin/dmctl -s INCHARGE-AM get Interface::IF- moto.emc.com/369::InstrumentedBy
{ Interface_Fault_MIB2::I-Interface_Fault_MIB2-IF-moto.emc.com/369 }

If the Disable Fault Analysis is set to FALSE, the above command will return empty.
