Summary 

You have created a Custom Task that will send an email when the event threshold you’ve set is exceeded. It is recommended that you create as many reactions and events as you need to monitor your systems and networks efficiently. 

If you find that you are receiving emails constantly, edit the event’s threshold accordingly. Or make changes to the Custom so that it does operate under desired thresholds 

Now that you have a basic Custom test setup you can graph, report and monitor the data you are collecting. You may also edit the appropriate scenario and or task to include profiles and other options.
