I'd like to send notification when CPU is in critical state for 1 minute or longer.I'd like to know where could I configure time period for a service when it is in critical ( or warning) state. I know there's directive "max_check_attempts" but it define the number of times that Nagios will retry the host check command. But I need to define when service is in critical state for 1 or 2 minute and then send notification. Cause CPU could be in critical state for 20 sec and it is confusing to send a notification that CPU is in critical state for that short time period Is there that option / Thanks a lot peter </BODY> </HTML>
