The NNM iSPI for IP Telephony generates an incident in the incident inventory during a threshold violation. However, the incident is canceled if the attribute value is within the set threshold in the next polling. Multiple incidents are not generated for consecutive threshold violations of a single attribute value. For example, if the Queue Size threshold value is violated for consecutive polling, the incident inventory continues to display the incident generated after the first violation and removes it only when the value is within the set threshold.
