Re: noalert for specific if statement in service check

[Martin Pala]

Yes, the "noalert" cannot be used in the test context - it is valid for the 
whole check. You can filter out specific event types by type (using "not on { 
events_list }") but not based on specific value. In your case you can use the 
exec action which can be used to send alerts on per-test level:

--8<--
check filesystem data with path /dev/sdb
    if space usage > 90% for 5 times within 15 cycles then exec "/usr/bin/mail 
-s filesystem_data_full address@hidden"
    if space usage > 95% then exec "/usr/bin/mail -s filesystem_data_full 
address@hidden address@hidden"
--8<--

or create custom script where you can use MONIT_* environment variables to read 
the event context and process it accordingly (send alerts, etc.)

Martin
