Why would you not want the status to change ? Such a history log is
great for troubleshooting.<br>
<br>
if you don't want to be notified about it, just use this in the
hobbit-alerts.cfg<br>
<br>
Page=x<br>
IGNORE HOST=foo SERVICE=cpu COLOR=red DURATION<5m<br>
<br>
if you don't want it to change the status color on the parent pages ,
then use NOPROPYELLOW:cpu in the bb-hosts file.<br>
<br>
if you REALLY don't want it to change status, increase the LOAD numbers
in the hobbit-clients.cfg file.<br>

Is there a [non-messy] way to set a DURATION rule for a specific host
alert? Basically, what I'm thinking of is something like this:<br>
<br>
In hobbit-clients.cfg<br>
HOST=myhost<br>
LOAD 20 30 DURATION>5m<br>
<br>
The effect being, the status of the "myhost" cpu alert will only change
to yellow/red if the load is above the appropriate threshold for more
than 5 minutes.<br>
<br>
There are a few hosts that occasionally will spike above the cpu load
thresholds, but only for a few minutes (usually around 5 min at most),
and then recover on its own. However, I don't want to raise the
thresholds, because a sustained load (more than 10 minutes) at this
level _is_ actually a critical event. It's just not critical if it is
just a momentary spike.
<br>
<br>
My specific example is with cpu load, but it could be for other things
too, such as process counts, memory, or even in some situations, disk
space.<br>
