Description: The hold-down time (holdTime) used in conjunction with juniSystemUtilizationThresholdRising (risingVal) and juniSystemUtilizationThresholdFalling (fallingVal) to decide when to trigger an event indicating that the resource utilization, juniSystemUtilizationCurrentValue (currentVal), has reached or surpassed one of the thresholds.

This object provides one element in the formula used to determine when to send a utilization notification. If the resource utilization increases to the rising threshold value but a prior rising or falling utilization event has been triggered within this hold-down time then no rising threshold utilization notification may be sent at that time. If the resource utilization decreases to the falling threshold value but a prior rising or falling utilization event has been triggered within this hold-down time then no falling threshold utilization notification may be sent at that time. However, if the end of a hold-down period for a rising threshold utilization notification is reached and the current value is at or below the falling threshold value, then a falling threshold notification is sent and the hold-down timer is restarted. Likewise, if the end of a hold-down period for a falling threshold utilization notification is reached and the current value is at or above the rising threshold value, then a rising threshold notification is sent and the hold-down timer is restarted.

The pseudo-code in the juniSystemUtilizationThresholdRising DESCRIPTION states the algorithm more precisely.
