Overall Port Response Time Threshold	The threshold is reached for the average number of milliseconds that it took to service each operation (send and receive), by a particular port over a particular time interval

Warning Stress

Type the upper boundary of the threshold for a warning condition.

Critical stress

Type the upper boundary of the threshold for a critical condition.

Warning Idle

Type the lower boundary of the threshold for a warning condition.

Critical Idle

Type the lower boundary of the threshold for a critical condition.

Suppress alerts when Sequential I/O exceeds

This is enabled if the triggering condition involves disk utilization. Select Suppress alerts when Sequential I/O exceeds to ensure that disk-utilization alerts are ignored when they are caused by high sequential I/O. In the % field, type the threshold for the sequential I/O. By default, this is set to 80%.

Triggered actions

Select the action that is triggered when the condition occurs.

SNMP trap

Select to send an SNMP trap.
