[mrtg] Threshold Checking

[Dan Williams]

Hi

I have been monitoring our GroupWise Internet email gateway with MRTG for a few months now with no problems. I love this program :) I have started to play with the ThreshMin settings. My config file is working fine but that is the problem. I have set the ThreshMin settings to send me an email if incoming mail drops to below less than one email in a 10 minute period. We average about 20-30 emails per mrtg polling loop (5 min) during the day but at night the outgoing internet email drops to zero and I receive an email every 5 minutes. I have read the mrtg configuration manual and I could not find anything to set a limit on the amount of times ThreshMin runs once it has been triggered. I am running mrtg on Win NT 4. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could prevent mrtg from sending emails more than once or twice during the night and on weekends once the ThreshMin setting has been triggered. 

Thanks
Dan
