Is there any way to modify the ping tests to only go red if a server is
not responding to ping tests for more than 15 minutes? Some of the
servers I need to test are on the west coast and sometimes don't respond
right away to the first ping due to net conditions. I only want it to
go red if it's been down for longer than 15 minutes.
Not sure about changing the actual test, but if its the alerting that is the
issue, you could use DURATION>15m in the hobbit-alerts.cfg for the hosts in
question. That would delay the first page for the 15 minutes needed...
