Hi, We only want to be alerted if the service *fails* to restart. Is this possible?
That is, if on the first check the service is down then restart it but don't bother to send us an alert; if the service is still down two cycles in a row - the restart failed - then we need to know about that so send an alert. I tried if not exist for 2 cycles then alert but found that whilst we'd get an alert it would not try to restart. Tried it again with the below but same result: it sends an alert without attempting to restart. check process mysql with pidfile /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid start program = "/etc/init.d/mysql start" stop program = "/etc/init.d/mysql stop" if not exist then restart if not exist for 2 cycles then alert Can we set it to only send the alert when pain persists? Thanks, John.
