[hobbit] Alert Setup Question

[PNIXON at ci.somerville.ma.us]

Thanks for the reply.

If I understand DURATION ( DURATION<5m) correctly that says if HostA is down
for more than five minutes alert, if not do nothing.

I basically want to put a hold on the Alert for that rule for 15minutes
after it's triggered.

In BB they write an entry in /bbvar/notifications with the mail address with
a timestamp of +15m.  As long as that entry is in there, you won't get
double paged.

I think you want the DURATION tag!

Now for the rest of my email....

Okay,
 I'm working on getting my alerts setup.

My current hobbit-alert.cfg is:
$IGNPAT=%(annex-nw|gozo|mis-server)

EXHOST=$IGNPAT
        MAIL pnixon at ci.somerville.ma.us REPEAT=5m

EXHOST=$IGNPAT,%sps* TIME=*:0800:1700
        MAIL 6175559689 at myairmail.com REPEAT=15m FORMAT=SMS
        MAIL 6175559776 at myairmail.com REPEAT=15m FORMAT=SMS


I need to have it email the pager group for the first alert in a
15minute
window, and then for 15minute intervals.

Suggestions?
