Setting Alert rules for Detectors

Hello, 

I'm new to Splunk synthetic platform and looking for guidance on how below alert conditions work

Test 1: Scheduled to run every 1 minute.

So does this mean, an alert email triggered when the test fails 3 times in a row (of 1min frequency)?

Test 2: Scheduled to run every 30 minutes.

So does this mean, an alert email triggered when the test fails at any time during the scheduled frequency?

Hi,

regarding test 1 your assmption is correct.

regarding test 2 if the test is executed at 11:00 am for example and fails at this time. the alert will be triggered immediately after the failed execution when the  configured trigger threshold is reached at this time. 

If the test is successful at 11:00 am and the next execution of the test fails at 11:30 am.  the alert will be triggered immediately after the failed execution when the  configured trigger threshold is reached.
