Hi

Is it possible to configure a notification for a service as if it gives 3 times warning status the 4th time it should show it as a critical ..
or if i can say if the warning event occurs 3 time it should send an email as warning but if it happens the 4th time i want it to be emailed as critical ..

The state of a service is only determined by the exit code of the plugin that checks it - 0 for OK, 1 for Warning, 2 for Critical, and 3 for Unknown.

You could possibly set something similar up using escalations and a separate "Critical-only" contact email.
