ACS Configuration Changes

	When ACS evaluates this threshold, it examines the accounting records that it received during the
	interval between the previous and current alarm evaluation cycle.
	If one or more accounting records match, it calculates the time that has lapsed since the previous alarm
	evaluation cycle. When it reaches two, three, or five minutes depending on the number of active
	thresholds, ACS examines the ACS configuration changes made during the interval between the previous
	and current alarm evaluation cycle. If one or more changes were made, an alarm is triggered.
	You can specify one or more filters to limit which configuration changes are considered for threshold
	evaluation. Each filter is associated with a particular attribute in the records, and only those records that
	match the filter condition are counted. If you specify multiple filter values, only the records that match
	all the filter conditions are counted.
	Choose this category to define threshold criteria based on configuration changes made in the ACS
	instance. Modify the fields in the Criteria tab as described in Table 12-15.
