<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Is it possible to set up a check for
nagios where an admin is notified when a threshold value has been exceeded
in a specific time frame?</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br>Sure. With a proper service check or with escalations. <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<font face="sans-serif" size="2">For example, send me a notification
when a check_ping has failed 20 times during the past hour for a server
but only send me the notification 1 time for that hour time frame.</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br>I'd setup a ping service that has max_check_attempts set to 20 and normal_check_interval set to 300 - That way you'd only receive notifications in one hour of ping errors.<br></div><div>

Tivoli for alerts and want to somehow keep track of the alerts but only
send out the notification when deemed critical. Thought Nagios could
do it better than Tivoli. :)</font>
<br></blockquote><div><br>If Tivoli floods your mailbox, and all of them are false positives, then you have a Tivoli setup problem, or a network related issue. <br></div></div>Nagios maybe at the same point of view of Tivoli, if you're having network issues. <br>
