Monitoring with Simple Check.

[marvistamsp]

I am using Simple Check to monitor remote sites, for simple up and down.

Currently I am using the KEY icmpping[,,,60,] with this for a TRIGGER {Template ICMP Ping:icmpping[,,,60,].last(#3)}=0.

I have also configured notification when the trigger activates via email. Tests run every 2 minutes.

My problem is this.. I get alerts every day because of some ping loss during some tests. When the next test runs, the outage clears.

I would like to have a Simple Check that only triggers when the tested IP is not responsive for two consecutive tests. I am just not sure how to to do that.

Thanks

Try to go with function count for example, function last is a bit tricky - see documentation

Take note that #num works differently here than with many other functions.
For example:
last() is always equal to last(#1)
last(#3) - third most recent value (not three latest values)

let use avg(#3)=0 or max(#3)=0

[marvistamsp]

I will update the trigger with avg(#3)=0

I will let you know later if I see a change.

gofree , darklord20k, thanks for the input. The avg(#3)=0 seems to have done the trick. I did not have any false positives last night.
