A custom alert policy is configured for a VM named Calm_3_8_VM to generate aWarningalert ifmemory usageexceeds90%or is below30%for10 minutes.
What action can be taken to prevent this alert policy from creating multiple alerts within a 48-hour period if the 90% threshold is crossed multiple times?
Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
The correct answer isA. Select the Auto resolve alerts checkbox and click Save.
When an alert policy is configured based on astatic threshold, it will generate an alert each time the condition is met unless it has beenauto-resolvedor manually acknowledged. By enablingAuto resolve alerts, the system willautomatically clear the alertonce the metric falls back within the acceptable range. This preventsduplicate alertswhen the threshold is exceeded repeatedly within a short timeframe (e.g., multiple times over 48 hours).
Explanation of Incorrect Options:
* B (Disable policy):Not scalable or operationally sound.
* C (Ignore anomalies):Applies only to behavioral anomalies, not static thresholds.
* D (Trigger duration):Increases delay before alerting but does not suppress repeated alerts.
