alert misfiring incorrect triggers?

[ashley.heilbronn]

Hello all, new to the forums but been a user of Solarwinds NPM for quite awhile.

I'm having some trouble getting an advanced alert working for one of our many Cisco ASA 5520.

So I'm trying to create an email alert for total number of connections to our firewalls, I've only done one so fair but the limit I've put in is 224,0000 which is the warning threshold.

so what i've done is created a device poller which is returning the results which is what I want every 1 minute from test device.

however when I create the trigger for the alert which is the following conditions.

The alert is being triggered when the status is below the threshold see the picture below.

Please Change Status to Numeric Value, this should correct the issue with the alert.
