"To Assert" and Assertion Timeout
If multiple sensor states are available for a specific sensor, the PX
asserts a state for it whenever a bad state change occurs.
To assert a state:
To assert a state is to announce a "worse" new state. Below are bad
state changes that cause the PX to assert.
1. above upper warning --> above upper critical
2. normal --> above upper warning
3. normal --> below lower warning
4. below lower warning --> below lower critical
Assertion Timeout:
In the threshold setup dialog, the Assertion Timeout field impacts the
"assertion" action. It determines how long a sensor must be in the
"worse" new state before the PX turns on the "assertion" action. If that
sensor changes its state again within the specified wait time, the PX
does NOT assert the worse state.
To disable the assertion timeout, set it to 0 (zero).
