When does the alarm clear?

Issue/Introduction

We are looking at threshold alarming, and im not finding a clear answer to the when the clear is activated.

If I said raise an alarm if the condition exists for a setting where duration is 6 (1800 seconds) out of a widow of 6 (1800 seconds) then it would take 6 consecutive poll cycles of the condition being met to raise the alarm.

So we raise an alarm because we just got 6 consecutive data points that met the condition, now the NEXT poll cycle does not meet the condition, so we have now have 5 data points that meet the condition and 1 (most recent) that didn’t meet the condition, does this now clear the alarm? Or will it take 6 consecutive data points that meet the clear condition to send the clear to Spectrum?

Environment

Release : 22.2

Component : Performance Management Events

Resolution

The window/duration applies to both the set and clear. Meaning we need 6 of 6 with value tripped to create an event, and we need 6 of 6 with value not meeting threshold value to clear an event.
