Alert auto-deactivation in HQ|E

[bharathhyperic]

Hi,
I need to know if HQ enterprise has a feature like this:

Say an alert is set- "When the CPU utilization is more than 30% throw an alert"
Now, usually this alert will stay active for ever until its is manually marked as "fixed". Is there a an option by which the alert will be automatically deactivated when the utilization drops below 30% and not stay on until someone manually marks it as fixed?

Thanks

Hi, a recovery alert would do the trick. Here's a description from http://support.hyperic.com/display/DOC/Recovery+Alerts

How a Recovery Alert Works

A recovery alert contains the opposite alert condition that is specified in the primary alert. This opposite condition looks for when the problem has been corrected or systems are behaving normally again (by whatever the user's definition of "correct" and "normal" are). When that opposite (returned-to-normal) condition is detected, the recovery alert is triggered and the primary alert definition is reenabled so that, if the abnormal behavior is once again detected, the primary alert is again triggered. Users can also, optionally, be notified that the recovery has occurred. A properly configured alert-recovery alert combination keeps users notified of problems without deluging them with alert notifications.
