I'm looking for a pattern that will alert me quickly of any problems. Say, <50% packet loss.
I'm more used to Mon's alert system where you can limit the number of alerts you get - and EdgeTrigger can help - but I'm worried that I'll miss the first one. I'd like to get, say 5 alerts, and then no more. So, anyone have any suggestions? --- I've tried to create some patterns that would produce an alert every five minutes [My step time, at least right now, is 60 seconds - which is probably crazy - but I don't have a lot of hosts and I'm working to nail down a problem and five minutes seems too large.] Something that would 1) let me know within five minutes 2) of a loss of 50%+ twice in 10 minutes 3) Would not repeat the alert more than once every 5 minutes. 4) But would let me know at least three times fairly quickly initially. [Say, every minute, or three.] I just can't wrap my head around the patterns well enough to build something like that - if it's even possible. Any suggestions?
