Wow, I don't deal with that kind of complexity. Maybe you can hack up some type of DEPENDS list?

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?
