Not in a file, in the alert itself.
http://xymon.org/hobbit/help/manpages/man1/bb.1.html
so, if your test currently sends
"status sam.example.com.eggs red I will not eat them on a boat. I will
not eat them with a goat."
you would want to change that to:
"status+85 sam.example.com.eggs green I do so like green eggs and ham.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Sam"
If you use +1h, then any delay could show up as transient purples, so
best to give yourself a little cushion.

Morning.
I want to run a test every hour...how do I stop the alert from going
purple
after 30 mins?
Thanks
James Roberts
Hi,
you need to extend the default liftime (30 mins) of yor status message
by specifiying staus+LIFETIME.
In your case something like status+1h
