Nagios log server alerting

Post by sshgraham »

Hello Everyone,

I'm very new to Nagios Log Server and seeking help setting up an alert the reports all instances of an event. For example if the event occurred 5 times in 60s, i need to email report all 5 occurrences.

Thanks,
Help would be greatly appreciated

Alerting in NLS actually doesn't work like that, it will send one notification if it finds information, but it will let you know how many events occurred.

You could apply a custom email template though, and have it use the %last10alertlogs% macro which will pull the information for the last 10 logs on that specific query and include it with the email.
