Hello group,

For the multi-server architecture we have 4 ossec servers in
failover.

In default, it will only see the missing server after 30 minutes,
while alerts are lost during that time.

>From the source-code I have changed the default 10 minutes of
NOTIFY_TIME to 2 minutes, and recompiled,
leading to a maximum loss of 6 minutes (3*NOTIFY_TIME in notify.c)

I have tested this setting and apparently it works.

But I can't estimate the impact of this change, and management wants
me to validate this change.
Is there someone in the group who has done the same thing?
Is there a reason why NOTIFY_TIME is set to default 10 minutes?

I suspect some dependency with the windowsagents, but there are no
windows systems in my parc.

Thankyou very much for your help,

Ka Kit Wong
