Almost, but this method uses snmptraps rather than polling, i.e: the monitored server is telling Zenoss, almost immediately, when it has a problem rather than Zenoss asking every 5 minutes or so. anastrophe wrote: > the last thing i want is to have events 'alerted very quickly' - if those > events are incorrect! that's one of the features of the zenoss process > monitoring that would be appealing if it worked - the ability to have a > process report an error, but if it resolves itself within a few minutes, have > it not alert me. This is possible with either method, however, the fact that Zenoss is aware that there's a problem quicker and starts it's "wait time" sooner means that the end of the delay will come sooner, if the problem isn't fixed in this wait time you will still get alerted sooner. This delay is set in the alerting rules under preferences. -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=22240#22240 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
