[mrtg] Re: threshold alert every 2 hour, not every 5 minutes

[Kerry Werry]

The easiest thing to do if you only want to know when a threshold is
violated is use:

ThreshDir (GLOBAL)
By defining ThreshDir to point to a writable directory, MRTG will only
alert you when a threshold boundery has been crossed.

Example:

 ThreshDir: /var/mrtg/thresh

This way you only get one e-mail when the threshold is violated and
another when it is ok again..
Works very well..

Add that logic to your threshold program.

Every 5 minutes, I'm having my MRTG server poll my router for the
bandwidth status.  Every time it polls, it checks the input against
the
defined threshold boundary which I set.  If the threshold is broken,
it
calls a perl script which then sends out an email.  

If the T1 maxes out for 30 minutes, I'd receive 6 email messages
notifying me of the threshold break.   This is unreasonable.  I want
to
receive 1 email message only if the T1 maxes out for 2 hours straight.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I would go about doing this?  Thanks
in advance.
