[smokeping-users] How to stop alert from triggering on each cycle?

[Marc Haber]

Hi,

Debian's default configuration has a pre-configured alert "someloss"
which is defined as follows:

+someloss
type = loss
pattern = >0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%
comment = loss 3 times  in a row

I am currently experiencing an extended outage, and my smokeping sends
me one mail per host and cycle:

Got a match for alert "intsomeloss" for <URL>

Pattern
-------
>0%,*12*,>0%,*12*,>0%

Data (old --> now)
------------------
loss: 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%
rtt: U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U, U

Comment
-------
loss 3 times  in a row

The mails are idential, only the Dates given change, of course.

man smokeping_config gives me the impression that smokeping _should_
only send out e-mail in case of a state change, which is clearly not
the case at the moment.

What might I be doing wrong?

Greetings
Marc
