Hi!

nagios core we deployed a Centos server. I'd like sending email alerts had a time delay, is it possible?

That is, for example, when we have a peak consumption of RAM, to wait for sending email 5 minutes to see if reduced

thanks!

You could use the following example.

Code: Select all

        max_check_attempts              3
        check_interval                  5
        retry_interval                  1
This example will normally check every 5 minutes.
If the check is in warning, or critical it will retry 3 times with an interval of 1 minute.

That should be it. And of course a restart of Nagios...
