See this section in the full configuration reference

This plugin sends a desktop notification to a notification daemon, as defined in the Desktop Notification Specification. To actually display the notifications, notification-daemon is required and collectd has to be able to access the X server (i. e., the DISPLAY and XAUTHORITY environment variables have to be set correctly) and the D-Bus message bus.

The Desktop Notification Specification can be found at http://www.galago-project.org/specs/notification/.

OkayTimeout timeout
WarningTimeout timeout
FailureTimeout timeout: Set the timeout, in milliseconds, after which to expire the notification for OKAY, WARNING and FAILURE severities respectively. If zero has been specified, the displayed notification will not be closed at all - the user has to do so herself. These options default to 5000. If a negative number has been specified, the default is used as well.
