Message Volume Alert
The Message Volume-based alert allows alerting when message volume falls below, or is above, preset messages-per-second thresholds. The alert applies to all devices.
The Message Volume-based alert also supports Zero Message Alert by using the TimeSpan parameter. The time granularity of Zero Message Alert is in minutes, so the TimeSpan has to be 60 seconds or greater. When TimeSpan is present, you do not have to provide FewerThan and MoreThan parameters as they will be ignored.
Example
“FewerThan/10//MoreThan/100”
Table 5 lists the Message Volume Alert-specific parameters. You must include the parameters as inputs for the alertRules parameter.
