Click the desired sensor (required), and then click Edit Thresholds.
The Edit Thresholds page appears.

Modify the Assertion Timeout field as desired.
In the threshold settings, the Assertion Timeout field postpones or even cancels the "assertion" action. It determines how
long a sensor must be in the "worse" new state before the PDU triggers the "assertion" action. If that sensor changes its
state again within the specified wait time, the PDU does NOT assert the worse state.
Note:
•
To disable the assertion timeout, set it to 0 (zero).
•
For most sensors, the measurement unit in the "Assertion Timeout" field is sample. Sensors are measured every
second, so the timing of a sample is equal to a second. BCM2 is an exception to this, with a sample of 3 seconds.

How "Assertion Timeout" is helpful:
If you have created an event rule that instructs the PDU to send notifications for assertion events, setting the "Assertion
Timeout" is helpful for eliminating a number of notifications that you may receive in case the sensor's readings fluctuate
around a certain threshold.
