An alternative is to use SANM. Create a policy for the appropriate alarm types, severity, model types, etc and set the "Age Time" to 5 minutes.

I think the Event Pair Rule can help. If the alarm event occurs and the clear event doesn't occur in 5 minutes, an alarm will be raised. Regards, Christoph Von: CHAMBERS, Donald K (Keith) CIV (US) [mailto:[email protected]] Gesendet: Mittwoch, 20. März 2013 13:12 An: spectrum Betreff: [spectrum] DELAY CRITICAL ALARM NOTIFICATION (UNCLASSIFIED) Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Does anyone know if there is a way to delay the alarm notification for critical alarms? We get quite a few alarms that occur, possibly because of SNMP or bandwidth issues, but then clear within a few minutes. I would like to be able to delay the alarm notification for five minutes or so as we would then know it is a true alarm. Or, at least, I'd like to test it and see if it does not cause any problems for true outages.
