Escalation and how to define trigger for...

[marc]

i want a trigger wich gets true if service is down for 5minutes. what can i do?
min/max/avg tested but because iam testing services just all 60secs, all reporting to sensitive. whats the best way. item returns 1/0.

also i read a post from alexei about escalation in 1.1. where do i find it?

max(300)

You can use the max() (or min(), if your test returns 0 when OK) functions:

{host:icmppingsec.max(#3)}=0.0

the last 3 pings didn't work.

{host:icmppingsec.max(300)}=0.0

the pings in the last 300 sec didn't work

But this system is a new trigger.

We can't do a escaltion like:

while TRIGGER is ON, make ACTION-1 every X min
if ANY_TRIGGER is ON durring Y min, make ACTION-2
if TRIGGER is OFF and ACTION-2 was MADE, make ACTION-3

like in nagios

I will prepared a patch for my 1st row of my algoritm
