Hi Team,
Trying to figure out if its possible to delay a Warning Alert to be presented on the scom console.
If a Warning Threshold for a Low Disk Space has been triggered, I don't want it to go to the console straight away.
I want this to be delayed say about 45min etc just in case the Disk Space recovers in this time and the alert will not be required anymore.
And if the threshold is still in a breached state after 45min, only then fire a Warning Alert.
Is this possible using Overrides or do I need to create a New Unit Monitor to achieve this?
If a new monitor is required, what do I need to achieve this, a 3 state monitor > From Healthy to Warning to Healthy > but where and how do I set the delay part?
Is it in the "consecutive samples" - if so > what should be the Interval and Samples

Hi,
There is a relevant thread you can reference:
Hi Saiyad,
you are absolutely correct here and this is an option i totally forgot :)
You cana use this to generate the alert only on Cirtical state. Nice one, you are on the right path!

Hi Stoya,
You mentioned that this will only create Alert for Critical only...i was under the impression this option would be generating alerts for BOTH Warning and Critical.
if not the case then, my best option will be still to create one monitor for Warning (with consecutive sample for Delay) and one for Critical as the critical has to be without delay.
in this scenario, i would have to just leave with the fact that there would be a Warning and Critical alert present at some point for a particular drive and to Close Both alerts - we will need to resolve the Critical threshold and the Warning threshold for the Drive -- which I think is a good thing.
Thoughts?
