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.

I think you want the DURATION tag!

Now for the rest of my email....

Okay, I'm working on getting my alerts setup.

My current hobbit-alert.cfg is: $IGNPAT=%(annex-nw|gozo|mis-server)

EXHOST=$IGNPAT MAIL pnixon at ci.somerville.ma.us REPEAT=5m

EXHOST=$IGNPAT,%sps* TIME=*:0800:1700 MAIL 6175559689 at myairmail.com REPEAT=15m FORMAT=SMS MAIL 6175559776 at myairmail.com REPEAT=15m FORMAT=SMS

I need to have it email the pager group for the first alert in a 15minute window, and then for 15minute intervals.

Suggestions?
