You cant right now. I think it was there in 1.1 but was buggy at best (cant remember because I never turned it on). Its on the list for 1.6.
Even better than repeats is escalations - also due in 1.6! -
This isn't the best solution, but it works for what I need. I use the script function.
I created a "user" called script, in my actions I send the variables I need in the MESSAGE body (eg {HOSTNAME}), the user media is configured as a script. When the script is called, it passes along the message defined in the body of the Action.
On the script side I use $1 $2 ect to pull in the values. If the alert is ON I send myself an email every x minutes. If XX amount of time goes by without the alert being fixed, it starts emailing others. If the alert is OFF it stops sending alerts.
Its horribly messy, but there are a few systems that just can not be down for long. If you really want to know all the details of the script , I guess I can post it all. I only recommend this if you just absolutely need them. If it is more of a luxury thing, then wait till 1.6.Comment
