How to escalate trigger severity?

[jmw]

hi,

I've something i would like to implement.
I've setup a trigger, that generates a warning if the value is above a certain limit.
Now i would like to escalate this trigger to average in case this warning occurs for more than 1 hour...

How can i do something like that?

See you,
Marco

Hi,

Just create a second trigger with average severity level.

If your trigger is:
{host:item.last(0)}>some_value

The new one will be:
{host:item.min(3600)}>some_value

You can also make the old one depend on the new so that they aren't active as the same time.

Hope this helps,
JBo

isn't there a way to make this without double triggers ?

Hi,

Since you can define only one expression and one severity level per trigger, I don't see how it could be done.
