    You can update the notification frequency and trigger for each Recipient under "Alerts - Alert Recipients" in the console, under the Synthetic category:



    - Select the recipient to modify in the left panel and click the 'Edit Recipient' button.  

    - Click the 'Availability Alerts' tab in the new window

    - You can update how many errors it takes to trigger an alert. In your case you may stick with using the default; just 1 error sends an alert.

    - You can also update when to stop alerts, the default is 10. In your case you should update this to 4, and after the first 4 errors alert you, the notifications will stop until the error clears.

    - If you don't want to send the 'Clear' you can uncheck that box below in the same window.

    - Click the 'Submit' button at the bottom to complete the change

    - Repeat the process for each Recipient



    Hope that helps!
