Nope - same result both ways (and the doc says minutes is the default, FWIW).

Not sure if this could be the problem, but your DURATION parameter in the MAIL line just says "DURATION>6". Maybe hours is the default, and you need to change it to DURATION>6m (like your second use of it on the last line)?

I've a problem with my running 4.03RC1 (yeah, I know :-) that doesn't seem to change with 4.2 Alpha.

With this alert_config set:

HOST=%(whq-sapcon-1|whq-sapcon-2) EXSERVICE=msgs SCRIPT=/usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/pg/sms oracle_echelon SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs color=RED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h MAIL techsupt at localhost SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs DURATION>6 REPEAT=4h MAIL techsupt at localhost UNMATCHED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h

I get this when running the test:

00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page 'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 140 00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 *** Match with 'HOST=%(whq-sapcon-1|whq-sapcon-2) EXSERVICE=msgs' *** 00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page 'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 141 00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Failed 'SCRIPT=/usr/local/hobbit/server/ext/pg/sms oracle_echelon SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs color=RED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h' (min. duration 0<360) 00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page 'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 142 00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Failed 'MAIL techsupt at localhost SERVICE=telnet,svcs,procs DURATION>6 REPEAT=4h' (min. duration 0<360) 00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Matching host:service:page 'whq-sapcon-1:telnet:' against rule line 143 00018172 2006-04-05 11:42:36 Failed 'MAIL techsupt at localhost UNMATCHED DURATION>6m REPEAT=4h' (min. duration 0<360)

So if I'm reading this correctly, my 'duration>6m' is being interpreted as 'duration>6h'. The intent here is to require two failed tests before paging. Where have I gone wrong?
