this through correctly, if threshdir is defined the script will not

exceeded, but rather when the threshold is exceeded (and cleared) x number of

a disadvantage<SPAN class=803225219-07062010>. It would be able to hold

alerts<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>

<DIV>I only recently became aware of the ability of MRTG to alert when a
threshold is reached. I love this feature! But,
I have some instances where it is less than optimal and I wonder if there is a
work-around. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have a number of T1s which will occasionally peak to 80-85%, even
though they normally run at about 25% utilization. The peaks
do not last more than a single cycle of MRTG polling and so I would like to
ignore these. I currently have this set to email when a threshold is
reached. I would like to generate an alert only if a threshold of say 70
or 80% continues to be broken across multiply MRTG polling cycles. Is
this possible? Do I need to use an external script to manage this or is
there another way?</DIV>
