{bb} Ignore short lived errors.

["Robert C. Mosher II" <mosherr2@msu.edu>]

About once a day, big brother reports that SMTP is down for one of our 
severs. This outage only lasts for 4 minutes and 44 seconds ( I'm 
guessing this is the how often big brother polls services ). Since the 
duration is so short, it is not a concern, and I would like big brother 
to ignore outages shorter that 5 minutes.

In bbwarnrules.cfg I added the rule:
host.*;;smtp;;;;admin@domain.com:~5

It appears I've misunderstood the escalation rules, as this only delays 
sending the message. Is there anyway I can get BB to not send a 
notification message if the outage is shorter than a certain duration?

Thanks,
Rob
