● Inform Settings: Enter the threshold value that the usage metric must exceed to trigger an Inform threshold alert.
To email Inform threshold alerts to the Unisphere Central administrators, select the Email check box. Then enter the
number of concurrent events that must occur to trigger an alert email.

again to generate an alert email.
