Correct answer & explanation

✓

Increase the alert throttle period.

Increasing the alert throttle period suppresses duplicate alerts for the same events within a defined time window, preventing repeated triggers. Option A reduces frequency but does not address duplicate alerts. Option B does not solve the underlying issue. Option D may miss legitimate events.

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

  • ✗

    Set the alert to trigger once per hour.

    Why it's wrong here

    This reduces frequency but does not solve the root cause of duplicate triggers.

  • ✗

    Disable the alert and re-enable.

    Why it's wrong here

    This does not prevent future duplicate alerts.

  • ✓

    Increase the alert throttle period.

    Why this is correct

    Correct: Throttling sets a quiet period after a trigger to avoid duplicate alerts.

  • ✗

    Change the condition to count > 1.

    Why it's wrong here

    This might miss single events that are still important.
