So let me see if I'm smellin' the stew you're cooking.  :-)  I'm
pretty new to rulesets, so bear with me.  So to have the logic
"forward event if threshold is exceeded for X minutes"....

1) Setup data collection to trigger on the threshold you wish, and
   rearm at a slightly smaller value. 

2) In the rulset, use a trap settings to get down to the the Data
   collection threshold, then into a reset on match node?

3) Then, in a separate branch from the event stream, capture the rearm
   event (it does trigger a separate nv6000 trap, right?) with a Trap
   Settings Node, and run it into the other input to the reset on match

4) ..and follow Reset on Match with a Forward node? 


PRovided the rearm event throws a netview internal trap, I think I'm
set.  Am I starting to see the light, or need more illumination? 

Thanks again for all your help! 

Best Regards,
