trigger alert if memory or cpu is continously high

[venkitesh]

Hi All,

Is there any way nagios can send alerts if the memory or cpu is continously high for around 30 minutes.

now i have set notification interval as 20 minutes. so while checking every 20 minutes, if the memory or cpu is high, it triggers an alert.

But i want in such a way if it is constantly high say for around 30 minutes, then only it has to throw an alert.

Kindly help.

You could take a look at bischeck:

It has a fairly steep learning curve but once you understand the format you can do some powerful things with it.
