[smokeping-users] question about 'someloss' alerts..

[Bee Hock Goh]

Hi Tobi, Is it also workable to check for only 1 ==U? Having two ==U in
your example would mean that the host missed two polling before its
declared offline?

regards, Bee Hock.

  B,

  the pattern you picked will trigger at much less pronounced loss
  cenarious than what you see ... the pattern says that you want an
  alert if there are three instances of loss mixed up with no-loss
  situations ...

  to see if a line is don when you start smokeping, you can anchore a
  pattern at the 'start':


  +offstart
  type = rtt
  pattern = ==S,==U
  comment = Box is offline at startup


  +offline
  type = rtt
  pattern = !=U,==U,==U
  comment = Box went offline

  +online
  type = rtt
  pattern = ==U,==U,!=U
  comment = Box went online
