Well the trick is to detect the start of the line being down, that is the beauty of the pattern approach ... pattern = <10%,<10%,<10%,<10%,<10%,>10%>10% this will only fire if the line has been up for a while and then stays down for two cycles ... cheers tob > comment = There is a serious connectivity issue with this machine. > > Will fire every five minutes if a machine that is set up with the > Alerts=lossdetect > Line goes down. > > Thanks, > > Chris poetzel > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Argonne National Laboratory > > > -- > Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users > WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi > -- ______ __ _ /_ __/_ / / (_) Oetiker, ETZ J97, ETH, CH-8092 Zurich, Switzerland / // _ \/ _ \/ / System Manager Coach Time Lord Developer Designer /_/ \.__/_.__/_/ http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker +41(0)1-632-5286 -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/smokeping-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
