Setting a Randomized Interval

Setting a Randomized Interval

In order to make it difficult to predict your monitoring times, you can also set a
monitor-reporting schedule that, while dependent on your chosen Interval value,
will not run exactly that often.

If you check the Randomized checkbox, a random number is used to modify your
specified interval in order to establish the time of the next monitoring. After each
monitoring, the calculation is performed again--with another random number. This
makes it extremely difficult to predict the time of your next monitoring, however,
the average of all of the random-number-calculated intervals will, over time and
after a sufficient number of monitoring evaluations, be equal to your specified
interval.
