  • Error reported column — Displays the error type or SNMP condition type (or message) for which to configure error handling. More granular options can be made available by selecting the Use detailed system errors and Use detailed SNMP errors check boxes.
  • Interval before assigning state column — Sets the number of retries (system errors) or time interval (SNMP conditions) to wait before assigning the destination state.
