Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

We have implemented Nagios XI for monitoring, We are facing an issue like for CPU hike which is for 5 to 10 seconds or for 5 minutes then also Nagios is sending alerts. We need to configure like for 3 checks if the same alert is there like a warning or critical then it will send an alert. If for 1 or 2 checks if things get normal then there will be no any email alert.

How we can do it?

Many Configuration Wizards have an option for how many times to retry a check before returning its state. You could also set the check interval to a longer time.

You can change the max check attempts on an existing check by navigating to the Configure section using the bar on top > clicking Core Config Manager under Advanced Configuration on the left pane > then Services under Monitoring > and then click on the name of the service or host you want to alter.
