[SA-list] Host Flapping

[Jenkins, Matthew]

Is there any way to specify that a host has to fail X number of checks before we are paged?  We are checking services every minute.  We have hosts that will page down (web server is too busy, etc.) and then come back up the next minute.  We get a lot of this flapping, which is causing our administrators to eventually ignore the pages.   We do have every host set to do a second knock, and have adjusted timeouts on servers where we can.  This has helped greatly, however we are still having major headaches.   Thanks,   Matt   Matthew Jenkins Server Administrator Fairmont State 304.367.4955 AOL: MLJenkinsCom  Yahoo: mljenkins  ICQ: 8116624  MSN Visit us online at www.fairmontstate.edu
