{% blocktrans %} Each alarm definition is defined by its expression composed out of mathematical function, metric, time, times ,threshold and comparator for metric's value and the threshold. Time is the number of seconds for the measurement to be done. They can only be in a multiple of 60. Times is how many times in a row that expression must be true before triggering the alarm. Both time and times are optional and default to 60 and 1 respectively. Additionally it is possible to narrow evaluation of the alarm to certain entities by choosing their dimensions. The deterministic alarms never enter UNDETERMINED state. Use them for metrics that are received sporadically. {% endblocktrans %}
