existing trigger conditions.

opposite of, or are very similar to, the trigger conditions, SolarWinds
has provided a function that copies the trigger conditions to the reset
conditions. Click Copy From Trigger to add the trigger condition.

If you want to specify a time duration for the condition to be valid, type
the time interval and select Seconds, Minutes, or Hours from the list.
Note: It is often appropriate to delay alert reset actions until a condition has
been sustained for a certain amount of time. For example, an alert based on
node status would not reset until the node has been up for more than five
minutes. To establish a sustained-state reset condition, provide an appropriate
interval at the bottom of the Reset Condition tab for the amount of time that
the alert engine should wait before any actions are performed. The default
setting is to reset the alert immediately, once the reset condition exists. The
maximum interval between when the trigger condition first exists and when
the corresponding alert action is performed is eight hours.
