Option	Description
Notification Enabled	Select if you want to be notified when the Alert Threshold is exceeded.
Alert Threshold	Type an alert level between 0.0 and 10.0. This is a measure of how important is the service the application provides. For example, an application that provides real-time communications would require a higher alert level than one whose responsiveness is not as critical.
Notification Trigger Delay	click the down-arrow and select an acceptable delay period. The notification is only triggered if the condition persists for the entire delay period. Click the button for more information.
