[mrtg] Re: Thresholds Question

[Bradford Woodcock]

I could be wrong but I think mrtg wants to 'execute' the threshold script
each interval until it clears. In instances as this in the past I've
handled a requirement like yours by putting a small bit of intelligence
into the threshold script. The logic goes something like:

if threshold=set then:
- check to determine if a file exists in a directory (the filename in this
case would be based on the target name)
- if the file does NOT exist then 'notify' and create file
- if file does exist then do nothing (or maybe overwrite file with new
threshold)

if threshold=clear then:
- remove file
- maybe 'notify' if you want to know when it clears

a cheap and dirty trick to keep the state of a threshold
