Exam 2V0-17.25 Topic 2 Question 86 Discussion

The VCF 9.0 Operations Guide - Alerts and Policies explains how alert cycles are calculated:
Wait Cycle: The number of consecutive collection cycles that the symptom must remain true before the alert is triggered.
Cancel Cycle: The number of consecutive collection cycles that the symptom must not be true before the alert is canceled.
Default Collection Interval: VCF Operations collects data every 5 minutes by default.
Given the settings:
Wait cycle = 2 → The condition must persist for 2 × 5 minutes = 10 minutes before the alert triggers.
Cancel cycle = 2 → The condition must clear for 2 × 5 minutes = 10 minutes before the alert cancels.
Thus, the total elapsed time between the symptom being triggered and the alert being automatically canceled (if unresolved) is 10 minutes wait + 10 minutes cancel = 20 minutes.
Other options:
40 minutes (A) assumes a longer interval but is incorrect.
4 minutes (B) and 10 minutes (C) do not align with the default 5-minute cycle × 2 logic.
Therefore, the correct answer is 20 minutes.
