Is there any way to modify the ping tests to only go red if a server is not responding to ping tests for more than 15 minutes? Some of the servers I need to test are on the west coast and sometimes don't respond right away to the first ping due to net conditions. I only want it to go red if it's been down for longer than 15 minutes.
P.S. Apologies if this is posted twice.

Put a "badconn:1:2:4" on these hosts. Then they'll go clear after one failed ping, yellow after two, and red after four. Since the tests run every 5 minutes, 4 failed tests is 15 minutes.

Your first posting was sent from an unsubscribed e-mail address, so it ended up in my moderator-approval mailbox. I rejected it, it it wasn't posted twice.

Not sure about changing the actual test, but if its the alerting that is the issue, you could use DURATION>15m in the hobbit-alerts.cfg for the hosts in question. That would delay the first page for the 15 minutes needed...
