Bandwidth Threshold Alert

I've got the demo version of Orion set up to monitor the bandwidth on several interfaces and send an alert when that bandwidth exceeds a certain thresholds.

It works great so far, but what I would really like is to do is set up an alert for when the bandwidth exceeds a certain threshold for a certain amount of time (say 75% bandwidth utilization for 5 continuous minutes).

Does anyone know whether this is possible with the current versions, or whether there are any plans to implement this kind of thing?

Many Thanks.

Just a followup to my own topic...in case anyone is interested...

I called Solarwinds about this. Currently, sustained state alerts are not possible. They said it's a highly requested feature but they have no plans to include it in any release before the end of this year.

Setup your alert with your threshold.

Then on the Trigger Condition Tab, set "Do not trigger this action until condition exists for more than" xx Seconds/Minutes/Hours

This will hold the alert in a preparing to alert state until the trigger conditions have existed for your set amount of time.
