Today, we have probes for CPU, Swap and Memory and I'd like to be able to add a duration before considering the alert, whether it's warning or critical.

A CPU consumption of over 90% for 3 minutes doesn't require the same analysis as a consumption of over 90% for 1 hour.

That's why I'd like to add this waiting time before triggering the alert

Hello

You can play with the Normal Check Interval, Retry Check Interval and Max Check Attempts.


For example :
Check CPU every minutes (that’s a lot) and trigger if over 90% after 30 minutes:

Normal Check Interval    → 60
Retry Check Interval       →  60
Max Check Attempts      -→ 30

Hello,

 

Thank you very much for your help.

In fact, it is a change of status type, Soft or Hard, but visually the sensor changes colour, I was looking for the colour change to occur only after this period of time of 30 minutes or more.
