Notifications based on multiple hosts

Post by ockmeyer »

I have a customer that doesn't want notifications unless more than one host in a list of 7 reports a problem. Is there a way to bundle notification conditions of hosts into a single rule?

One way would be to make an event handler script that checks the other members of a machine's hostgroup, and only takes actions (like sending an email) if other hosts are down. Others here may have better ideas though.
