Setting a Minimum Entity Count for an Alert

You can set a minimum count of matching entities (gateways) for an alert. CoPilot considers the minimum count for triggering the alert.

The minimum count is the number of gateways that meet the configured alert-trigger conditions at the same time. CoPilot only triggers the alert when this number is reached.

The minimum count can be equal to or higher than 1.

All metrics support setting a minimum count of matching entities.

For an alert configuration, if you set the minimum count of matching entities to be higher than the number of entities being monitored, no alerts will be triggered.

Although you can set a minimum count of matching entities for the Global Network Health and Global Memory Swap Surge alerts, you may want to keep the count low since these alerts can indicate a problem with your network that must be addressed in a timely manner.
