    Description
    The firewall's configuration is approaching its maximum memory usage limit. During commits, the firewall's total config memory must accommodate two copies: the current 'in-use' configuration and the new 'to-be-used' configuration. If the allocated memory per configuration exceeds 50%, the firewall reaches capacity, resulting in commit failure.
    Raise Condition
    When configuration memory usage exceed 90% of the capacity of that respective firewall model and stays beyond 90% for five days over a week.
    Clear Condition
    When configuration memory usage falls below 90% of the capacity of that respective firewall model and stays below 90% for two weeks.
