Column	Description
Counter	The counter name. These names cannot be changed and items cannot be added or removed.
Instances	This value tells the database to which the counter information is being recorded to.
Interval	Measured in seconds, how often the value is being recorded.
Operator	Determines whether greater than, less than, or equal to operator is assigned to the alarm value.
Yellow Limit	This is the value that, when exceeded, will trigger a yellow alarm.
Yellow Time	This is how long the value must persist at or above the yellow threshold (but below the red alarm value). This is measured in seconds.
Red Limit	This is the value that, when exceeded, will trigger a red alarm.
Red Time	This is how long the value must persist at or above the red threshold, but always never below the red alarm value. This is measured in seconds. An alarm that passes through a Yellow state and achieves a Red state is considered to be in both Yellow and Red alarm status until the condition value passes below the limit(s).
Notification	Select a Notification profile to use for the alarm notification settings that will be followed when the alarm is triggered.
Action*	Select an Action profile to use when the alarm is triggered.The configured actions will occur when the configured limits are exceeded.
