There is no documentation but Zenoss has a very simple schema.

If you delete everything in the alert_state table every 15 minutes, you could get very close to what you want.

Zenactions checks the events against the rules and sends alerts for everything that matches, but not if it's already in the alert_state table. If you clean the table every 15 minutes, you will get the alert again.

You could even have it be a naming convention on the alert rule. For example:

*/4 * * * * mysql -uzenoss -pzenoss events -e 'delete from alert_state where rule like '%repeats'

You could write a custom script to query the DB directly and configure it in
a cron job.  I haven't rooted around in the DB Schema, yet, but it would be
a fairly simply query.  Heck, you could probably re-use a couple of ZenOSS
components.  BTW, is there a schema doc, or do I need look at the tables
directly?

Subject: Re: [zenoss-users] Unlimited notifications

I'm aware of the ticket. I'm looking for a work around for the time being, as this is a feature stopping us from migrating.

Hi,

We need a hack, or work around to allow notifications to be sent at say
15minutely intervals for critical problems. We currently use Nagios, and
are migrating across. However, the only stumbling block we have left, is
the fact that we only receive a notification once, or, however many
times we setup delayed notifications.

This really is an important feature and is stopping us from using your
product.

Any suggestions?
Rob

There is a ticket about this at: http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/ticket/919

Someone else also asked about it.
