your interval is 1 minute. you set "upalertafter 4m", which means that
a failure which lasts 1 interval will have the upalert squelched.
upalertafter timeval
The upalertafter parameter is specified as a string
that follows the syntax of the interval parameter
("30s", "1m", etc.), and controls the triggering of
an upalert. If a service comes back up after being
down for a time greater than or equal to the value
of this option, an upalert will be called. Use this
option to prevent upalerts to be called because of
"blips" (brief outages).
