6 polls, 5 poll cycles, or 12 minutes
Alright, take a look at this. The poll rate for this DS is 2 minutes. What is the trigger window? Assume all the criteria is met starting a 1:59 PM and 30 seconds (between polls). When will the alert be triggered? It’s actually 10 minutes (2:10 PM, +/- a couple seconds for collector task queue delay and assuming original scheduling at the top of the hour).
Do you know why? Why does it say 12 minutes? Why not 10? Is this behavior different than regular alert trigger intervals?
Hmm, I had to write it out to wrap my head around on this one :)
13:58:00 - checked, no issues

14:00:00 - 1st poll /w match
14:02:00 - 2nd poll /w match
14:04:00 - 3rd poll /w match
14:06:00 - 4th poll /w match
14:08:00 - 5th poll /w match
14:10:00 - 6th poll /w match… ALERT!
Diff: 10m 30sBut technically it can be anywhere between 10m 0s to 11m 59s depending on the timing. I assume they are just taking the Cycle * Polls (2 * 6) = 12. I guess it might be more confusing for users to see 10min or 11min even if those are more likely?
