Hi Team ,

If I want to set up the alert in /config/user_alert.conf or /etc/alertd/alert.conf for clock advanced by (number), Decimal, ( integer) or (.*) , than whats a difference .

can we set up clock advanced only for tmm or for other daemons too ?

below clock advanced messages on basis of (number) , (decimail) or (.*) , If on basis of number than what would be clock adavanced messaes if we set up on basis of decimal .

Please check and let me know if there is any article or config which shows difference with example ?
