It sounds like it could work if there was a way to say that I only want to recieve x number of alerts if the notification is resending. I am trying to avoid the situation where if someone has their phone off they don get slammed with 500 messages (assuming a host / service stays down). Is there a way to do that? That is specify the number of alerts that should be received? > Kirk Frankovich > Systems Administrator _______________________________________________ Opsview-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opsview.org/listinfo/opsview-users
