Information
You can configure an UP and/or DOWN timer for each tracked object to set the time delay before a 
change in the state of a tracked object is communicated to clients. The configured time delay starts 
when the state changes from UP to DOWN or vice-versa. 
If the state of an object changes back to its former UP/DOWN state before the timer expires, the timer 
is cancelled and the client is not notified. For example, if the DOWN timer is running when an 
interface goes down and comes back up, the DOWN timer is cancelled and the client is not notified of 
the event. 
If the timer expires and an object’s state has changed, a notification is sent to the client. If no delay is 
configured, a notification is sent immediately as soon as a change in the state of a tracked object is 
detected. The time delay in communicating a state change is specified in seconds. 
seconds
Enter the number of seconds the object tracker waits before sending a notification about 
the change in the UP and/or DOWN state of a tracked object to clients.
Range: 0 to 180
Default: 0 seconds.
