If you do not specify any event for Monitored Object, all events are displayed here and cannot be changed. Trigger Mode: trigger mode of an event alarm. Accumulated Trigger: When the trigger condition is met for a specified number of times in a monitoring period, alarm notifications are sent based on the preset interval. Assume that you set Event Name to VolumeResizeFailed, Monitoring Period to 20 minutes, Cumulative Times to ≥ 3, and Alarm Frequency to Every 5 minutes. If data volume scale-out fails for 3 or more times within 20 minutes, an alarm notification will be sent every 5 minutes unless the alarm is cleared.
