Hi Comms, Please see explanations here: http://www.ripe.net/ris/myasngls.html#50 And then think about alternative terms for below: *Hold Down Time *Hold Down Event: 'Min-Event-Duration' and 'Min-Event-Count' are our current candidates. *Time To Live: We have two lines of thought here. One relates to 'detection' of events building up to an alarm entry in the email sent to the user, while the other follows the line of 'suppression' of further entries once the first entry has been triggered (based on exactly the same events). If we go along with the second concept, then this is a maximum time interval. In the first case, we're talking about a fixed 'window' (time interval). I hope all that made sense ;) Here come some suggestions: "Event-count Window", "Alarm-Suppress-Time", "Max-suppress-time", "Event-Suppress-Time', "max-detect-window", "alarm-detect-window"... Etc etc... We could go on forever and ever. The question is: What works for you? The beta is more or less ready so we need to get this one out of the way once and for all... ;) Cheers, Matthew ---
