CPU time for zSecure Alert alert generation

The alert issuing phase of zSecure Alert also requires resources like virtual storage and CPU time. The amount of virtual storage is usually negligible, unless a really large number of alerts are issued at the same time. CPU time for the alert issuing phase depends on the number of event records (SMF and WTO) that passed pre-filtering. Usually, processing the collected records and generating alerts requires less than a second for each alert interval (default 1 minute). The CPU time required is only marginally dependent on the alert types that have been selected.
