Delayed notification

[Dave Close]

I apologize if I'm just blind or dense. I've tried to find the answer to
my question in the Nagios documentation, but that which came with the
program and that on the Web. I've also searched the list archives. But I
may not have a good search term...

I would like to delay paging until an event has occurred more than once
without an intervening recovery. That is, if Nagios checks a host or
service every five minutes, when it finds a problem, it sends notice by
email on the first occurrence, but it does not send a page until the
third consecutive problem.

I'm finding a lot of transient issues. They happen but recover in just a
few minutes. I do want Nagios to detect the problems and log them, for
the record. I just don't want to bother with a page unless the problem
continues for some time.

Is there some way to do this?
