I would like to only trigger an action based on the host status item but only after a period of 5 min instead of immediately on some servers. Other triggers can achieve this using the max or min functions but it seems the host status data is only entered into the db when its status changes so the min, max, etc. functions are useless. I attempted to use the nodata function to achieve the same purpose but that would cause the trigger to go into an unknown state for some reason at times which causes all kinds of problems with the actions, namely that the actions set to repeat will continue indefinately.
With that said, what is the correct way to setup a trigger that will notifiy only after the status is 2 for 5 min?
