Indirectly.  It will still show up as red, but won't alert right away.

We have it setup here so that it needs to be red through two "cycles" (a cycle
being 5 minutes).  If so, then page/email.  Read the manual and focus on the
bbwarnrules.cfg file.  Here's my example:

hg-solprod;;*;oracle ora-ts ora-sga;*;*;pg-soladmin-prod:~7
hg-solstage;;*;oracle ora-ts ora-sga;*;*;pg-soladmin-dev:~7-60

The first line says For all tests in the hg-solprod group (our solaris
production servers) except for the three oracle tests, send a message out if 
the condition persists for 7 minutes.  This is, in essence, two failures in
a row.

The second example (~7-60) says, "Send a message out if the condition persists
for 7 minutes, but only send an alert once every 60 minutes."  If you don't 
specify that, then the default (which I think is 20 minutes) is used.

Hope that helps.
