disk activity alert time setting
We have been seeing some computers recently hit 100% disk activity and stay that way for several minutes. Occasional spikes may not be a problem, but when a computer hits 100% disk activity and stay that way for a while, we want to be alerted.
The current settings do have the percentage, but having a time frame like the other alerts would make this trigger actually usable. As it is, we had to turn it off because too many little spikes were triggering alerts that we have to manually remove. Being able to set the threshold to something like disk activity 95% or higher for 5 minutes, instead of just the percentage would make this much better.

I was able to add a Disk Active Time warning to my Default Thresholds (we're trying to track down what causes 100% disk active time and think we've pinned it on a particular piece of software, gathering data to help the developer figure out why this happens) -- the alert works, but I need to set it to check for whether the 100% active is there for at least a few minutes -- they way it's working now if a disk hits 100% active for a second I get the alert. There isn't a way to put in "time period" on the built-in Disk Active.
