Customed notifications

[tanyzampa]

Hi everyone,
Using a personnal plugin (which is return an int value), I'm trying to send a notification after 3 checks which results = 0 (the returned value by the plugin).
So, I tried to set the "First notifications delay" to 30, and the "Check interval" to 10, but it does'nt seems OK ...

Is anyone have any idea to bypass this problem ?

thx

If your plugin is returning 0, that is the OK state.

By default nagios sends notifications when thing are not OK

No, I wasn't clear.
I'm monitoring number of connexions to a server by a personnal plugin, which is OK.
I meant, if the number I get from the MIB is 0 connexions, I want to wait 3 checks before send a notification.
The check is every 10 minutes.

You can do what you want using service escalations, but it might make more sense to use flap detection in your situation.

Hmm ... the services is not flapping.
For the moment, I put max_check_attempt = 3, check_interval = retry_interval = 10 (10 minutes).
Wait and see !

Sorry, I misread your situation and shouldn't have suggested flap detection. Anyway, let us know if things are working.
