Key terminology in alerting system

"Verification Interval": The verification interval is a term used in alerting systems to define the frequency at which the system checks or verifies the condition that triggers an alert. It specifies the time interval between consecutive checks to ensure that the alert remains relevant and up-to-date.

"Alert Reminder Delay": Alert reminder delay refers to the duration or time delay between successive reminders for the same alert. In some cases, if an alert remains unresolved, the alerting system may send reminders at specific intervals to ensure that the recipient takes appropriate action.

"No Data Delay": No data delay refers to a parameter used in alerting systems that determines the time threshold for considering a lack of data as an alert-worthy condition. If there is no data or updates received within the specified delay period, an alert may be triggered to notify the relevant parties that data collection or transmission has ceased or encountered a problem.
