Waiting longer than one polling failure to alert

You can also look in the bb-hosts man pages for the badhttp, badconn tags.

Hi Mark,

see the man page:

 *"DURATION*Rule matching an alert if the event has lasted longer/shorter
than the given duration. E.g. *DURATION>10m* (lasted longer than 10
minutes) or *DURATION<2h* (only sends alerts the first 2 hours). Unless
explicitly stated, this is in minutes - you can use 'm', 'h', 'd' for
'minutes', 'hours' and 'days' respectively. "
You can configure your alerts only being triggered after a period of
time...

eg:
HOST=* EXHOST=%(acp.*) EXSERVICE=msgs,cpu
 MAIL $helpdesk DURATION>2 REPEAT=60 UNMATCHED COLOR=red FORMAT=plain
 MAIL $security DURATION>60 REPEAT=600 COLOR=red UNMATCHED FORMAT=plain
 MAIL $manager DURATION>120 REPEAT=600 RECOVERED COLOR=red FORMAT=plain

As you can see in the example, we use this to trigger the escalation
process...

Hope this helps!

[hobbit] Waiting longer than one polling failure to alert
 My apologies if this is covered in the docs or in past discussions, my
google-fu hasn't come through for me on this one. We're running 4.1.2p1,
and we have several troublesome hosts that, for whatever reason, are
constantly experiencing periodic disconnects with the hobbit server. I'm
not too concerned about the disconnects (we have some new firewalls that are
probably to blame, and by all other indications, the hosts and services are
fine), but we're constantly getting alerts. Is there any way to make hobbit
alert on a host or service, only after it's failed two or three times in a
row?

Thanks in advance,

Mark
