Great work! Including a way to set grace periods will be really useful to prevent flapping on the metrics. ex, 'Alert When CPU > 95% for 10m'

One way to solve that problem is to reduce the series with min(). Ex http://play.grafana.org/dashboard/db/alerting-flappy?panelId...

This means that the lowest value for the last 5min of the serie have to be above 80% before the alert triggers.
