Hello,
I need a recommendation on paging. When I last submitted this, Henrik pointed out that when I use the DURATION<30, that if the Alert goes from yellow to Red within 30 minutes, I won't get the alert.
So, I thought if I divided up, like below, the problem would be solved.
HOST=%du* SERVICE=conn,cpu,disk,nfs MAIL DB_TEAM at mysite.com REPEAT=15 COLOR=YELLOW DURATION<30 RECOVERED
HOST=%du* SERVICE=conn,cpu,disk,nfs
MAIL 5555551212 at airmail.com REPEAT=15 COLOR=RED DURATION<30 RECOVERED
Try testing your rules and see which ones it matches.
Usage: hobbitd_alert --test HOST SERVICE [duration [color [time]]]
Depending on your results, you may want the red alert first, the hobbit-alerts file is read from the top down.

So, based on the settings up, At around midnight last night, a database server reached YELLOW and sent out two emails 15 minutes apart (30 minutes).
One hour and 30 minutes later, the database server reached RED, however, no pages were sent out.

What I'm trying to do is reduce the number of overall pages that get sent when an alert occurs, regardless it it's red or yellow.
The persons getting the notifications only want a maximum of two notifications per red or yellow alert.
Any suggestions? How is everyone else handling not getting bombarded with pages? I'm open to any strategy that insures I'm getting pages on everything, but also doesn't send multiple pages on the same problem.
I would also very much appreciate if you could send the setting in the alert file with the suggestion so I can set mine up that way.
Thanks All for the help.
