We have been frequently receiving alerts regarding the Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx Virtual Ethernet Adapter being disabled and re-enabled within a short time span. The alert is triggered each time the adapter is disabled and then enabled, causing unnecessary noise in the system.

Specifically, the current alert triggers too quickly, and I would like to adjust the alert configuration to wait for a longer period before triggering. Ideally, the system should monitor the NIC adapter’s status and only generate an alert if the adapter remains disabled for a longer period of time. If it is re-enabled within the adjusted time frame, the alert should not be triggered.

I have checked the rules and overrides in the System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) but couldn’t find any option to modify the time interval for triggering the alert. Below is a sample of the alert details:
