Okay, let me run a scenario...
7:00 HostA generates an alert which gets sent to pageme at here.com
7:05 HostB generates an alert which does not get sent to pageme at here.com
because they got paged in the 15 minutes
7:18 HostA is fixed now, but HostB is still broken and generating an alert,
which gets sent to pageme at here.com
7:22 HostC breaks now, no Alert to pageme at here.com
7:33 HostB is still Broken, sends an alert to pageme at here.com
Duration is for how old the alert is
Delay - I haven't seen any documentation on this.
In BigBrother it's called pagedelay and was configured in bbwarnsetup.cfg,
in my case, for 15 minutes.
Does that help?

I don't understand what you mean
DURATION<5 means that it wont page you if the alert has gone longer that
5 minutes.
DUATION>15 means that it wont page you for the alert until the alert has
gone up for more than 15 minutes.
There is DELAY which wont page you for certain intervals. But I don't
understand what you want to do.

Thanks for the reply.
If I understand DURATION ( DURATION<5m) correctly that says if HostA is
down
for more than five minutes alert, if not do nothing.
I basically want to put a hold on the Alert for that rule for 15minutes
after it's triggered.
In BB they write an entry in /bbvar/notifications with the mail address
with
a timestamp of +15m. As long as that entry is in there, you won't get
double paged.

My sub zones don't give an error when I run
/usr/sbin/prtconf -p
What do you get when you run it from the shell?
I suppose you could comment out that section.

/usr/sbin/prtconf -p
On the global zone I change this line as well:

No sorry. We don't have brocade switches, we have a set of mcdata
switches that I am monitoring with the older bb-brocade.pl script. I
don't run the newer brocade.pl script.
bb-brocade.pl doesn't really return anything worth graphing just
straight monitoring:
Switch status is online
Administrative status is online
Etc.
We are looking to replace the mcdata switches with some kind of director
class switch, so I haven't been too interested in them.
Is anyone monitoring a cisco MDS?

Although, I'm not using a Mac, Firefox works perfectly for me. It could
be a problem with your browsers filetype and handling. Try reinstalling
firefox.

I just migrated my BB install to hobbit. Notcing one huge problem. On

In my httpd.conf I have the dir

I actually figured it out.
I ran 'bbcmd sh' to get into the hobbit environment and then manually
executed the script.
I had the machine name as localhost in the bb-xsnmptab, but it was
expecting the machine name, so I just changed that.

What do you have in the bb-xsnmp.log file?
Do you have a bb-xsnmptab file in /bb/hms/server/etc ?
I assume this is running on the hobbitd server since you have
