Alert notification repeating

[halomoan]

Hi All

How to set so on a trigger occurring, the Zabbix will send 5 times SMS notification to my mobile?

Thank you

This was removed in 1.4 and is part of the escalations initiative slated for 1.6.

There were repeats in 1.1.x, but I don't recommend using them unless you using James's patch pack, but if you do that, you're running a semi-forked version of zabbix.

Sorry.

I think I would become the semi-forked user :)

I need this feature otherwise i would not know that my dead system really need me :D

Thanks for the info

You should configure zabbix in a way that there are no false positives.

This can be a huge challenge, but its more or less possible.

Also, there are up and down actions as well. You can see when a trigger goes on and off.

Sometimes one time alert doesn't enough, You know... especially if the message missing during my mobile power off.

It would be very nice to allow us to specify the number of alerts or at least the alert should not be only once.
