Desensitizing web monitors

[oliverm]

Hi chaps,
i want to make our web monitors only trigger when status 200 ISNT received for more than 3 checks in a row.

Alex has shown how to do this on normal triggers using min(#3)=max(#3) & min(#3)=#200 or similar.

However, web monitors dont have a visible trigger in which to do this.

How can i recreate the same affect ?

When you create a Web scenario, it automatically creates some items for you. Those items can be used to make triggers, and the min(), max() and last() functions work the same way.

One of my own triggers for a web page looks like this:

{hostname:web.test.fail[ShifterService].min(#2)}>0

Since the web.test.fail is either 1 or 0, I only get paged if there are two fails in a row.

If you are getting an alert, it must be based on some kind of trigger. Looking at events should tell you which host had the error. And if you look at triggers and choose a specific host, you should be able to tell if the trigger is coming from a template or directly attached to the host.
