    Creating a Trigger for bandwidth usage

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server
    Linux version 2.6.18-348.3.1.el5
    Zabbix 2.0.5

    I am monitoring over 700 sites with various internet pipes and bandwidth usage, so I'm looking for a way to alert when a site is beginning to reach the limits of their current pipe.

    I know this will mean I have to manually put in whatever this value is for each site, but that's an issue for a later time.

    These numbers may need to be tweaked later, but for right now my intent is to have an alert triggered when a site has sustained an average of 75% for at least an hour, then had this happen a minimum of 12 times over a 4 week period.

    I know how to create a Trigger to alert me when the bandwidth averages 75% over for an hour (assuming they had a T1):

    {Host001:ifInOctets.avg(3600)}>1125000

    But how would I now have it trigger only if this happens 12 times over a 4 week period?

    Thanks for any help in advance.
