Assuming your network has WAN segments it is quite likely to drop an ICMP
packet under load. The trigger of 4 improves the odds that such spurious
drops won't trigger alarms.

Subject: [WhatsUp Forum] trigger value to send notification
Hi, People.
Is there any special reason why WUG recommends a minimum trigger value of 4
before sending out a notification? Is it just a suggestion on their behalf
to reduce unnecessary notification traffic? For my network, we want a
status on all devices ( my best guess is about 350-400 WUG devices across
the country) every 10 minutes. We chose to poll every 5 minutes (300 secs)
and a trigger value of 2. I can always adjust this to 2.5 minutes (150
secs) and trigger value of 4.
