I'm using a problem expression as follows:
max(/**redacted**/icmpping,#10)=0
This is meant to only trigger on 10 successive failures due to the #10, we're testing once per 60 seconds.
When I test the expression by inverting the =0 to a =1 a problem appears on the 'problems' view within 60 seconds. I only want it to be a problem if the ping fails for 10 minutes.
Why isn't #10 working, anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I've just realised maybe this isn't a good way to test it? That's likely the problem as the history hasn't changed and so the trigger will alert instantly. I'll see if I can find a better way to test it. If anyone has any tips on reducing the sensitivity on ping fail tests I'd appreciate it.
