Saving Your Configuration
When you configure thresholds they are not permanent unless you save the changes. When you have completed configuring thresholds, save your configuration as described in the Verifying and Saving Your Configuration chapter.
 
10-second Average of Total Processing Card CPU Utilization Thresholds
10-second average of total CPU utilization thresholds generate alerts or alarms based on a 10 second average of cpu utilization for all processing card CPUs during the specified polling interval.

Enter condition: Average measured amount of total CPU utilization for the last 10 seconds > or = High Threshold
Clear condition: Average measured amount of total CPU utilization for the last 10 seconds < Low Threshold
If a trigger condition occurs within the polling interval, the alert or alarm will not be generated until the end of the polling interval.
