n Conditions may be exported for use with other alerts by clicking

f. If you want to specify a time duration for the condition to be valid,
type the interval and select Seconds, Minutes, or Hours from the list.
Note: You may need to delay alert trigger actions until a condition has
been sustained for a certain amount of time. For example, an alert based
on CPU load would not trigger unless the CPU Load of a node has been
over 80% for more than 10 minutes. To set up a sustained-state trigger
condition, at the bottom of the Trigger Condition tab, provide an
appropriate amount of time the alert engine should wait before any
actions are performed. By default, the alert triggers immediately, if the
trigger condition exists. The maximum alert action delay is eight hours
after the trigger condition is met.
g. If you are finished configuring your advanced alert, click OK.
