Date and Time Range
Table 200. Date and Time Range
Field Description
Limit Date Range Species a specic date range to match alerts.
Limit Time Range Species a specic time range to match alerts.
Limit Days Select to specify the days on which to enable the alert
association. If you do not enable this option, the association is
applied continuously within the time frame that you specify.
Each of these elds are exclusive of the other, so selecting date
8/1/11- 10/1/11, 1am to 4 AM, Friday, will match alerts on only
Fridays from 1-4 AM only within that date range.
NOTE: It is possible to input a date range and days
selection that will never produce a result. For example,
9/1/11 and Monday — since 9/1/11 was a Thursday, it
will never match.
If none of these are checked, it means that the alert selection
will have no date/time lter.
Alert Action — Duplicate Alert Correlation

Field Description
Yes. Only duplicate alerts that match this lter will be
executed.
Enabling this option deletes duplicate alerts (with the same ID

interval. Use this option to prevent a device from sending an
overabundance of alerts to the console.
Ignore duplicate alerts that are received during the interval (1
second - 24 hours).
Select this option and set the required time interval to ignore
duplicate alerts. This option can be used to ignore alerts for
maximum of 24 hours.
No Select this option if you do not want duplicate alerts to run at
increased duration.
