alarm rate-limit

alarm <type> rate-limit [email | snmp] term {long | medium | short} {count <value> | window <duration-seconds>}

<type>	See the alarm enable command for a complete listing and description of alarm types.
email	Sets rules for email.
snmp	Sets rules for SNMP.
term	Sets the alarm event rate-limit term value. Valid choices are: • long • medium • short
count <value>	Sets the count value. The default values are 50 (long), 20 (medium), and 5 (short).
window <duration-seconds>	Sets the duration of time, in seconds, that the window remains open. The default values are 604,800 (long), 86,400 (medium), and 3600 (short).

There are three term values—long, medium, and short. Each has a window, which is a number of seconds, and a maximum count. If, for any term value, the number of alarm events exceeds the maximum count during the window, the corresponding email/SNMP notifications are not sent.
