Help with Triggers please

[Dave]

Hi,

I need some help with two triggers.

We have a trigger that checks if the raid is returning an "Optl" as text, but every now and then we could get a blank response, or something else and by the 2nd check its back to "Optl."
My issue is that this rule fires immediate and, I only want the trigger to fire if the last two checks didn't match "Optl"

For example, we could get Optl - Optl - Optl - Not - Optl - Optl
For this it shouldn't trigger (but currently does the moment "Not" or blank is in the response).
Here is my current rule

find(/AOC VG0 Raid 8 Drives/raid[vg0],,"like","Optl")=0

What I want is for it to only trigger if it doesn't get Optl for more than two checks in a row.

Another similar one, we have a check to make sure that there is more than zero (0) processes running.
But the moment the application restarts, it notifies us immediately, where I would also like it to only trigger if it gets a value of 0 twice in a row.

Here is its rule:

max(/Hosting - 1U AMD/proc.num[lsphp],90s)=0

I would really appreciate some assistance with this.

thanks,
Dave

If you want to react after 2 fails, then use "find" over 2 checks...

find(/AOC VG0 Raid 8 Drives/raid[vg0],#2,"like","Optl")=0

And with the other one also... you are checking for max value during 90s. I do not know how often do you check? instead using time, use count of checks... #2

Thanks for the assistance, I'll give that a try.
