Thanks for the reply

Yes, I believe the problem is that the poller it being too quick... we have the same systems being watched by Nagios and it gives us almost no false positives.

How did you add the duration attribute? I am begining to follow the whole poller groupings and interfaces, but I don't (at this moment) see where I can specify a duration.

Many thanks

First, make sure you know where the problem is.  I assume here that
the poller is being a little too quick in saying the device is down.

What we did was to add a duration attribute, in other words the alarm
had to be, say, older than 10 minutes. As long as you don't mind them
being delayed you don't get as many triggers for just missing one poll.
