Dell EMC SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.0

You can configure an optional Up or Down timer for each tracked object. The timer allows you to set the time delay before a change in the state of a tracked object communicates to the clients. The time delay starts when the state changes from Up to Down or from Down to Up.

If the state of an object changes back to its former Up or Down state before the timer expires, the timer is canceled without notifying the client. If the timer expires and an object’s state has changed, a notification is sent to the client. For example, if the Down timer is running and an interface goes down then comes back up, the Down timer is canceled. The client is not notified of the event.

If you do not configure a delay, a notification is sent when a change in the state of a tracked object is detected. The time delay in communicating a state change is specified in seconds.
