the threshold condition returns to normal state after being in violation for a time interval.
12. Use the Violation Event Number field to specify the event number for the event that will be generated when
the threshold condition is met.
13. Enter the expression in the Threshold Expression box to identify when a threshold is in violation. For
example, [getApproval(%TotalTransactions%)]>2000. You can use the Help link for details on creating
expressions.
NOTE: The functions defined in the threshold expression box should be placed within parenthesis [ ] and
the field should be placed within “% %”. The return value of the function should be an Integer, Float or a
String only.
NOTE: You can use Threshold Expression parameters in this field as an input parameter to the SQL
function.

in this field. These parameters will be substituted during alert message construction.
16. Alert Options enables you to log an alert only if the threshold has been violated for a specified number of
times in the specified polling interval. By default the system logs alert if the threshold has been violated at
least twice in the last 2 polling intervals. You can change the settings as per your requirements.
17. Select the Log Normal Alerts check box to display entities when they return to the normal state after
violation. Normal alerts will be displayed in the Alerts page.
