What is the minimum time for the same alert status to stay up to be processed correctly by Xymon ?
I am not sure I understand the question - are you saying that Xymon does not generate the notifications you expect it to ?
For example in following transitions, what would the minimum time (in sec.) for the yellow statuses (same check) to be processed correctly by Xymon ?
long t. short t. long t. short t. long t. long t. green -> yellow -> clear -> yellow -> clear -> green alert alert recovered
Provided you have alerts setup on a yellow status, and there is not a DURATION parameter that delays the alert, then you should get an alert on each of the transitions to yellow.
("clear" is not an alerting color - only yellow, red and purple are).
The only "minimum time" Xymon has in relation to alerts, is the DURATION parameter that you specify in alerts.cfg (hobbit-alerts.cfg in older versions).
