suppress alert until the system is at least 5 minutes up

I am monitoring SAN volumes disconnects, and get unnecessary alerts after a node reboots, because SAN volumes get mounted a bit after the system is up.

Under alert suppression, don't see an "uptime" condition, only see "last boot" - making my plight not so trivial.

Is it possible to suppress an alert unless the system has been up for a certain time?

If not, would "delay execution" do the trick?

It doesn't look like it should, it looks like it delays the execution of the alert regardless whether the condition still exists after that delay, but I am not sure.

Thanks!

Under your trigger condition tab, (at the bottom) set a timer to delay the trigger:

This will "hold" the trigger action until the timer has elapsed.

Sounds like you need to set this in the trigger condition
