asserted alert
In the BMC Performance Assurance Investigate component, an alert that has met the threshold defined for its condition. If an alert has more than one condition, the alert asserts only when the thresholds for all conditions are met. Any actions (mail, script, or SNMP trap) that are defined for the alert are executed only after the alert asserts.
