Hi all,
I do want to delay CPU load red alert. As you know the default yellow or red based on the >threshold number but I want that include time delay. If the CPU load 9 and stay like that for 15 >min the color to change red instead of turn red immidiatly reach 8.

Current setup

Load. 6.0 9.0

For idle

DS CPU vmstat.rrd:CPU_IDL <10 color=red "TEXT=CPU usage critical"

Thanks
Have a look at the help text in alerts.cfg. You can use the DURATION flag:

# A sample rule:
#
# HOST=www.foo.com SERVICE=http
#      MAIL user-dd28c5cb1c5a@xymon.invalid REPEAT=20 RECOVERED
#      MAIL user-d0a7de99275f@xymon.invalid DURATION>60 COLOR=red
#      SCRIPT /usr/local/bin/sendsms 1234567890 FORMAT=SMS

cheers.
