Re: [hobbit] how can I receive alerts for every new trigger matched for 'LOG'

["Jerry Yu" <jjj863 (at) gmail.com>]

the LOG check clears itself after 30m, if it didn't see the offending
entries again. If this 30m can be changed to 5m or 6m, then, I can get new
offenders (as it will trigger status change for certain).
