Hi Val, 
thanks for bringing this subject up. It enabled me to rediscover the
notification log page in the reports. I had applied the allinone patch, 
but had not been using the page.  

The information in the log seems to indicate how long time passes from 
alert notification until the alert recovery notification.  This is not
exactly the alert duration, but it is useful information, when there 
is doubt about who was alerted and when, ahd who was notified of
recovery and when and the event duration as seen from the staff. 

As an example of the notification log page in Hobbit, I enclose 
a page for today.
