I commented in your other thread about this:

Check my post for a more detailed answer but at a high level:

1. Polling time / playback interval - how often the system will run through the transaction (go through the playback steps) and record a status in the database
2. Evaluation frequency of the alert - how often you want SolarWinds to check this alert condition against the collected statistics
3. Alert trigger wait time (condition must exist for X) - how long the alert trigger condition has to be true before the alert will trigger
