Thanks Ged,
I still a have question.
The ping result of a slave varies from targets. From what I understand, we can define the alert in ***slave*** section by using ++override like following.
And it also means a slave will use the same alert everywhere.
*** Alerts ***
+rtt-30
type = rtt
pattern = >30,*4*,>30
*** Slaves ***
+Slave-A
display_name= Slave-A
color=d942ab
++override
Slaves.Slave-A.Alerts = rtt-30 (<----correct me if the syntax is wrong)
*** Targets ***
+Target-A
menu = Target-A
title = Target-A
host = IP
slaves = Slave-A, Slave-B
For example,
Slave-A pings Target-A, averages at 10ms
Slave-A pings Target-B, averages at 50ms
If I apply alerts "rtt-30" to Target-A, it is meaningful, but if I apply "rtt-30" to Target-B, then it does not work right because it averages at 50ms.
Please teach me how I can have different alerts for the same slave when it probes different targets.
Or I should use something like this,
*** Targets ***
+Target-A
menu = Target-A
title = Target-A
host = IP
slaves = Slave-A, Slave-B
++override
Slaves.Slave-A.Alerts = rtt-30
Slaves.Slave-B.Alerts = rtt-80
Thank you
Andy
