Alerts escalation scheme explanation

The "Explain" field shows how the selected settings will be evaluated by the WebSitePulse.com monitoring agent. This allows you to select the alert escalation scheme that will best fit your needs. For a detailed scheme of the alerts that will be sent to each contact when a failure is detected you can check the "View Escalation Scheme" link at the bottom of the page.

The "Explain" feature requires JavaScript to function properly so if your browser doesn't support JavaScript you will only see the explanation after you save your settings.
