Re: [hobbit] Alert delays

[David Gore <David.Gore (at) mci.com>]

Ok, the alerts are driving me mad. What I would like to do is send out a 
 mail/page for any alert that turns red and is red for 15 minutes or 
longer.  I assumed DURATION>15 would work?  DURATION>15m results in 
rather large number by the way that may indicate a bug, 'h' works and 
leaving off 'm' seems to parse OK.  None of these work, and there is 
nothing in ~/log/page.log.  Here are our rules and a dump.

COLOR=red
        MAIL somebody (at) somehost.com REPEAT=8h

SERVICE=conn,procs,disk,vmem EXHOST=dante,cayhp2,cayhp3
        MAIL somebody (at) somehost.com REPEAT=8h DURATION>15

HOST=dante,cayhp2,cayhp3 COLOR=red
        MAIL somebody-different (at) somehost.com REPEAT=1d

HOST=nmsbb-get SERVICE=pri-1 COLOR=red
        MAIL somebody (at) somehost.com REPEAT=8h DURATION<29

COLOR=red
        SCRIPT /export/home/rbaldwin/hobbit.sh

hobbit (at) nmsbb-get ~/server> ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg 
hobbitd_alert --dump-config

COLOR=red
        MAIL somebody (at) somehost.com REPEAT=480

EXHOST=dante,cayhp2,cayhp3 SERVICE=conn,procs,disk,vmem
        MAIL somebody (at) somehost.com REPEAT=480 DURATION>15

HOST=dante,cayhp2,cayhp3 COLOR=red
        MAIL somebody-different (at) somehost.com REPEAT=1440

HOST=nmsbb-get SERVICE=pri-1 COLOR=red
        MAIL somebody (at) somehost.com REPEAT=480 COLOR=red DURATION<29

COLOR=red

We don't mind re-simplyfying just for paging on ALL red alarms that are 
RED for 15 minutes or longer and wacking all the other rules that do not 
work.  Thanks for any help.
