I seem to be having a problem with alerts being send too often now (alert added below).
These are part of a ping that should not send more than once an hour. I have the mon.cf set up with what I think is correct, but maybe I am missing something. (mon.cf below). I have it set to alert every 60minutes, but I get them about every 5 minutes. In reading the doc's I noticed the results have to be the same for each entry otherwise it resents. I noticed the fping entries in my log are different. Would that be causing it? I was just manually doing the fping to see if I get output back each time (or occassionally), but some damn fool actually went and reset the node on me - so its up.
