Add a page delay to the recipient(s) in your rule. There are 3 delays that 
can be applied, an initial delay on the very first page, a delay between 
every page and a delay before escalating the page to someone else.

Sounds like you want an initial page delay. By default, there is a 15 
minute delay between pages so you only need to adjust the timing of the 
first one. Contrast this to the frequency of testing, which defaults to 5 
minutes. If you want a 15 minute delay before being notified about a procs 
problem, then you are saying the procs test can fail 3 times before you 
get notified (I'm not criticizing, just making sure this is all clear.)

*;;procs;;*;*;person1:~15 person2:~15

The :~15 is the syntax for adding a 15 minute delay to the first page. Big 
Brother will not send a page to that recipient until 15 minutes have 
passed, then it'll send a page every 15 minutes thereafter until resolved.
