The problems that don't immediately manifest could very well take hours or days or longer. There has to be a limit, and 5 minutes is as good as any.

A lot of alerts use moving averages or sustain times to squelch transient noise. You have to wait for the max sustain time to pass before you can conclude that lack of alert = lack of problem.
That time could very well be 5 minutes but the two need to be coordinated.
