E.g. with delayred=disk:10,cpu:30, a red disk-status will not appear on the Xymon webpages until it has been red for at least 10 minutes. Note: Since most tests only execute once every 5 minutes, it will usually not make sense to set N to anything but a multiple of 5. The exception is network tests, since xymonnet-again.sh(1) will re-run failed network tests once a minute for up to 30 minutes.
