[mrtg] Re: can this be done and how

[Matt Walkowiak]

I know almost nothing about shell scripting, but couldn't you have the
threshold run a script, that increments a global variable that starts at 0
(x=x+1), then later in the script it does an if/then statement (if x=3
then...), checking that variable to see if it has reached a value of 3.  If
it is true, it resets the variable to 0 (set x=0) and then sends the alert
(mail me at abc.com -s "DOWN!!! < alert.txt).  Would that work?

I have thresholds set for min and max with an email alert. I'm wondering if
its possible for mrtg to drop below min 3 times or 3 times above max before
an email is sent.
