I need a trigger which only applies after a timeframe

[rammel47]

What I want is to trigger ICMP to a device.
But I only want a trigger action if maybe the pingperformance is 0 for !!! 5 minutes !!!.
If this event happen only for 1 minute, then there should be no trigger action.

-----------------------------
My latest try was:

{triggername:icmppingsec[ ,5, , , , ].last(300,300)}=0

-----------------------------

Could anyone help me with this question?

Hi,

last() only uses one value. last(300,300) means that you are taking a single value 300 seconds in the past.

If you want to process several values, you need to use functions that work on a period of time such as min, max, avg.

In your case, max function should be OK:

{hostname:icmppingsec[ ,5, , , , ].max(300)}=0
