When you are setting thresholds for the metrics you have selected to monitor, you should consider how often you want the data to be collected.
Click the Collection Interval tab to select whether to use the same collection interval for all metrics, or to use different collection intervals for each metric type. For example, you may want to collect job count data every 30 seconds, but you may want to collect the job log message data every 5 minutes because job log message data typically takes longer to collect than job count data.
If you want to monitor numeric and status metrics for less than 5 minutes, you must select Use different collection interval.
To specify the number of collection intervals for each threshold,
click the Metrics tab and indicate the number of intervals
in the Duration field.
