Setting Event Value Options

If you select the When value is... from the list in the Notify area, the Options area displays three choices. Select one or more of these three options:

Initial: Use this option to establish a baseline when monitoring resources such as available filesystem space or system load. It can also be used to test whether newly requested events are being sent.
Repeat: Use this option for urgent alerts. The Repeat option sends an alert at each polling interval as long as the notify condition is met. Use this option with caution; there is a risk of high CPU use or filling log files and alert windows.
Return: Use this option to track when emergency situations return to normal.

To set the frequency of the trigger:

Click one or more buttons on the list in the Options area (Initial, Repeat, and Return).
Asynchronous monitors are event-driven, not polled. They generate messages as events occur. Therefore if the resource is an asynchronous monitor, the values in the Options area defaults to Repeat and cannot be changed.
The Options area will not be displayed if you have selected When value changes or At each interval from the list in the Notify area. In these cases, the option default to Initial cannot be changed.

You can use emscli to set event value options. For more information, refer to the emscli (1m) manpage.
