that time period.

Applying alert thresholds to rules
For some rules, you may want to generate alert level log messages when specific levels of traffic occur.
You can do this by applying alert thresholds to the rule. Alert thresholds work according to the number
of connections or connection attempts made over a given period of time.
You can then configure notification methods to be used when alert level messages occur. Notifications
alert administrators by email, pager, or SNMP message when events requiring attention occur. Alerts
can also cause an application to be run or blacklist traffic for a specified amount of time.
If you expect a rule to experience a high level of activity, for example rules using HTTP or SMTP, you
may not want to enable alert thresholds.
