this doesn't seem to work.

With a pattern = >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%,*12*

I had the alert (correctly) raised on this data line:

loss: 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 5%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%,
      0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 5%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%,
      0%, 0%, 5%, 0%, 0%, 5%

but it cleared a few minutes later on this:

loss: 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 5%, 0%, 0%, 0%,
      0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 5%, 0%, 0%, 5%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%,
      0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%, 0%

What am I doing wrong?

Greetings
Marc
