Which of these is a characteristic of the Alert model?

Question

Options

• AA value is monitored when the value reaches or exceeds the configured high threshold
• BA value is monitored for both low and high thresholds.
• CYou will see a "clear" entry in the log when the low threshold value is crossed.
• DYou will see no more outstanding items after the low threshold value is crossed.

• A
  86% (25)
• B
  7% (2)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because the Alert model is a single-threshold model - it fires when a monitored value reaches or exceeds the configured high threshold, and that's the extent of its behavior.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is wrong because monitoring for both high and low thresholds describes the Alarm model, not the Alert model.
• C is wrong because a "clear" log entry when the low threshold is crossed is also a feature of the Alarm model - the Alert model has no low threshold concept.
• D is wrong because outstanding alert items are not automatically resolved when a low threshold is crossed; that clearance behavior again belongs to the Alarm model.

Memory tip: Think "Alert = Above only" - the Alert model only cares about the value going up and over the high threshold. Everything involving a low threshold (clearing, resolving) belongs to the Alarm model, which has two thresholds (high and low) forming a range.
