Allow the option to set a period of time to NOT send alerts. For example, "If device has out-of-date patches for more than 3 days, Alert".

This is an option for hardware thresholds (CPU temp above 60C for 15 minutes). Our reports throw a lot of red flags for items that are scheduled daily or every 3 days. I want the reports/alerts to trigger if there has been a persistent issue, not if there happens to be an issue at the time of reporting.
