The Child Update Rule lets you set warning and critical thresholds on the interval between updates to target object's children. You can use this rule to detect unanticipated or uncharacteristic periods of inactivity that can indicate a problem with the associated manager.
For example, if the objects in a central database are supposed to be updated every 30 minutes in batch, you can use the Child Update Rule to set warning and critical states if these objects are not updated in a timely manner. This could indicate that a network problem is preventing the objects from being updated. To detect this problem, you could set a warning state of 30 minutes and a critical state of 60 minutes.
