The easiest thing to do if you only want to know when a threshold is violated is use:
ThreshDir (GLOBAL) By defining ThreshDir to point to a writable directory, MRTG will only alert you when a threshold boundery has been crossed. Example: ThreshDir: /var/mrtg/thresh This way you only get one e-mail when the threshold is violated and another when it is ok again.. Works very well.. KLW Kerry L.

Paul >>> "Dan Wozniak" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 06/10/05 1:40 PM >>> Every 5 minutes, I'm having my MRTG server poll my router for the bandwidth status. Every time it polls, it checks the input against the defined threshold boundary which I set. If the threshold is broken, it calls a perl script which then sends out an email. If the T1 maxes out for 30 minutes, I'd receive 6 email messages notifying me of the threshold break. This is unreasonable. I want to receive 1 email message only if the T1 maxes out for 2 hours straight. Does anyone have any ideas on how I would go about doing this?
