<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have Nagios 3.3.1 setup on Ubuntu Desktop 11.04.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I monitor approx. 70 hosts (mixture of Windows Servers, Switches, Firewalls) by PING only.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Down hosts are notified to me via email and SMS at the moment.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What I would like to so is limit the amount of SMS messages that are sent from my Nokia phone connected to my Ubuntu box.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As it stands I allow 3 checks 1 minute apart before I am alerted via email – after that I am alerted via email every 5 minutes until recovery.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have just implemented the phone to SMS alerts aswell but I want to limit the amount of texts as I don’t want a text every 5 minutes until recovery for sanity reasons and also cost reasons!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is what I would like to happen If a host goes down:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Email and SMS to be sent out on the 3<sup>rd</sup> failed check to the host (So 1<sup>st</sup> alert is sent out after 3 minutes of the host being down.)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Then……</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I want to be alerted via email every 5 minutes until the host recovers</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But……</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I only want 2 more SMS after the initial SMS, 5 minutes apart and then no more SMS until the host is recovered. So I want an SMS after 3, 8 and 13 minutes of the host being down, then a recovery SMS.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is this possible?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance</p>
