You will have the choice to enable instant alert mode in the Time Interval section when creating or editing an alert. Under this mode, the system will adopt a different approach to monitor the area.

Here’s the illustration of the differences:
Under instant alert mode, Cyclops will evaluate the alert threshold every minute to catch every possible moment of reaching the threshold. It is particularly useful when you are monitoring the data on a real-time basis.

Under standard alert mode, Cyclops will evaluate your alert threshold under the timeframe users specified in a non-overlapping way.

Based on your need, you can choose to opt in the instant alert mode for a continuous alert. You can always revert to the standard one by editing your alert.
