DURATION tag

[Kevin.Hanrahan at novainfo.com]

I'm not sure the duration tag is working correctly in the hobbit-alerts.cfg
setup. I have tests like I/O and CPU that will spike for a short time and I
wanted to eliminate the email notifications for those spikes. I set the
DURATION tag for 10 or 20 minutes like this:


HOST=$SERVER1
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red EXSERVICE=msgs,cpu,http,webContent
REPEAT=30m RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu DURATION>20 REPEAT=30m
RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=http DURATION>10 REPEAT=1h
RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=webContent DURATION>10m REPEAT=1h
RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=purple REPEAT=1h RECOVERED


But, it seems that I get the alerts immediately. Clicking on the history
button shows it was in alarm (RED) for only 5:00 minutes which would be the
default poll time so I am guessing that it was actually in the alarm state
for even less that that. Has anyone else had problems with the DURATION tag?
