Suggestion: Alerts

[Bishop, Dean]

yeah, this is built in already in a couple of ways.

first, if the Nagios box is available you can simply "Acknowledge" the
alert.  You could do this either from the web interface or from a ssh
session by piping the appropriate command into the external command file.

second, you could set notifications to only be sent once on state changes.
You do this by setting the notification interval to zero.

personally, i have mine set to one hour just so i don't forget about
anything.

I have my alerts to check every 5 minutes and report every 10 minutes
(checking every 1 minute if the host or service is down)

The reason for myself for the 10 minute gap between the alerts is if the
host goes down, I don't' need my pager ringing every minute telling me it's
down while I drive to the NOC

but I realised now that, if the host comes back up (while it's checking in
the minute intervals) I wont' know until the 10 minute gap is over.

It would be nice if the SAME message would be restrain to be sent over and
over, but a change on a down service to UP, should send a notification right
away :)

(hope I made sence, sorry, English is not my native language)
