When you specify one of the three alert options, the following parameters become 
available, although the threshold options are subject to the restrictions stated 
above.
-cthresh congestion_threshold
Specifies the severity threshold for congestion that triggers an alert. The 
threshold indicates the percentage of one-second intervals affected by the 
bottleneck condition within the specified time window. The threshold is 
expressed as the equivalent fraction between 0 and 1. The default value is 
0.8. 
-lthresh latency_threshold
Specifies the severity threshold for latency that triggers an alert. The 
threshold indicates the percentage of one-second intervals affected by the 
bottleneck condition within the specified time window. The threshold is 
expressed as the equivalent fraction between 0 and 1. The default value is 
0.1.
-time window
Specifies the time window in seconds over which the percentage of seconds 
affected by bottleneck conditions is computed and compared with the 
threshold. The maximum window size is 10800 seconds (3 hours). The 
default is 300 seconds. This parameter is valid with all three alert options.
-qtime quiet_time
Specifies the minimum number of seconds between consecutive alerts. The 
default is 300 seconds. The maximum is 31556926 seconds (approximately 
one year). This parameter is valid with all three alert options.
-noalert
Disables alerts. This is the default state assumed if neither -alert nor -noalert is 
specified.
-lsubsectimethresh time_threshold
Sets the threshold for latency bottlenecks at the sub-second level. The 
time_threshold specifies the minimum fraction of a second that must be affected 
by latency in order for that second to be considered affected by a latency 
bottleneck. For example, a value of 0.75 means that at least 75% of a second 
must have had latency bottleneck conditions in order for that second to be 
counted as an affected second. The time threshold value must be greater than 0 
and no greater than 1. The default value is 0.8. Note that the application of the 
sub-second numerical limits is approximate. This command erases the statistics 
history and restarts alert calculations (if alerting is enabled) on the specified ports. 
When used with the config option, you must specify a port.
-lsubsecsevthresh severity_threshold
Specifies the threshold on the severity of latency in terms of the throughput loss 
on the port at the sub-second level. The severity threshold is a floating-point value 
in the range of no less than 1 and no greater than 1000. This value specifies the 
factor by which throughput must drop in a second in order for that second to be 
considered affected by latency bottlenecking. For example, a value of 20 means 
that the observed throughput in a second must be no more than 1/20th the 
capacity of the port in order for that second to be counted as an affected second. 
The default value is 50. This command erases the statistics history and restarts 
alert calculations (if alerting is enabled) on the specified ports. When used with the 
config option, you must specify a port.
