multiple alerts

[shrinivas.bura]

I was monitoring more than 70 nodes using nagios now i have monitoring it using zabbix 1.4.1 i have few problems/suggetions.

zabbix frontend look is very nice however most important feature zabbix missing is repeated alerts that nagios can generating at predefined intervals.
to tackle i have set diffrent triggers for monitoring same item but i am facing one problem.
I am trying to monitor CPU load on firewall i have set diffrent triggers with various saverity levels as
load >60- warning
load > 70 - average
load > 80 -High
load > 90 - Disaster

however when load goes beyond 70 or 80 it generates 2-3 alerts for each severity

i want if load goes beyond 80 alerts for high only should get generate.

also alerts generating immediately i want to generate alerts when load goes beyound 70 zabbix should retry check after every 30 secs for 5 times if still load not recovers then alert should be generated.


can anybody tell me how i can do this.


is zabbix is planning to create repeated alerts in next release.

Define a trigger which will be actrivated only when CPU load is higher than 70 within 150 seconds. This trigger will activate sending of an alert.
