I would like to set up a check for some processes to change color only if the process

has been 'down' for more than '15' minutes (eg more than 3 poll periods.)

I have over 2500 servers located in different time zones from AST thru HST.

Various jobs/processes are shut down for 5-15 minutes each day at various times throughout the day on each server.

We don't want to generate any events on the bb2.html page if these jobs are only down for less than 15 minutes and then start back up.

Running version Xymon 4.3.0-0.beta2 <http://hobbitmon.sourceforge.net/>

I tried to set "DURATION>16" in hobbit-clients.cfg :

  PROC "%.*ssh " 0 3 red TRACK=ssh DURATION>16

but it seems to be ignored

~xymon/server/bin/bbcmd ~xymon/server/bin/hobbitd_client --dump-config

| head -20

Shows:

PROC "%.*ssh " 0 3 red TRACK=ssh HOST=s09trbrxs (line: 386)

I know the DURATION qualifier will work in the hobbit-alerts.cfg; is there an equivalent setting in the hobbit-clients.cfg section for the PROC section?

Thanks,

Tom Brand
