When the alarm clears, the next occurrence of the event generates another unique alarm.
• Event Frequency: Number of the occurrences of the event generated by the same element within a user specified amount of time determines the generation of a unique alarm.
• Event Lifetime: Duration of an alarm event without a clearing event within a specified time, determines the generation of a unique alarm.

• All: Applies this mapping to all elements.
• Group: Applies this mapping to a single group of elements.
• Specific: Applies this mapping to an element that you select from a list.

• Host Security Action: Host is set At Risk and then set to Safe after the specified time has passed.
• Command Line Script: You can specify a particular command line script to be executed as an alarm action.
• Email User Action: An email is sent to the user associated with the host.
• SMS User Action: An SMS Message is sent to the user associated with the host.
• Port State Action: Port is disabled and then re-enabled after the specified time has passed.
• Send Message to Desktop: Send a text message to the desktop of a host(s) with the Persistent Agent or Mobile Agent installed.
