Request for enhancement : provide way to choose nb of critical before =
notifications

Hi everyone,

I would like to know if the following feature can be implemented through =
Nagios.

Imagine that a service is most of the time in WARNING state (for precise =
reasons). Since this service reach a CRITICAL status, an alarm is sent as =
expected (notifications are set to be sent only for critical status).

The goal is to set up a number of tries in CRITICAL status before to send =
any alarm.

I know we can tune nb of tries for soft to hard status, but is there any =
setting allowing us to fine tune the number of CRITICAL status receveid =
before to alarm anyone ? (main reason is this precise case is that NRPE do =
not send back an UNKNOWN status when it has a Plugin timeout).=20

I know that we can tune the timeout and that the next version, I hope, =
will include UNKNOWN status when there is a plugin timeout, but i think =
that this feature could be interesting for special services...

Thx=20

Francois
