Hello,

I’ve created a process availability alert and want to delay it by 1 minute.

So, I added property as (enclosed, image 1 and 2).

Now, which is the right way (1 or 2)?

How Dynatrace is going to evaluate this?

Thanks

Munawar

Hi,

Not sure how you have configured that alert, but I would add delay in the alerting profile.

Best regards

Hello,

That’s a common AP.

So, I cannot touch that. So, added a property on the process availability page.

Thanks

Hi,  
Dynatrace expects a time value with unit for this property: dt.davis.analysis\_trigger\_delay.

So:

- 1m is valid, interpreted as 1 minute
- 1 - invalid/ignored or treated incorrectly (no unit --\> undefined behavior)

In&nbsp; Dynatrace evaluates it, Davis waits the specified delay before triggering problem analysis  
In your case: waits 1 minute after issue detection  
If condition disappears within that time → no problem created

This is not the same as alerting profile delay (it delays Davis analysis itself, not notifications).
