Re: noalert for specific if statement in service check

[Britt Treece]

I wish it was capable of alerting separately for each test, but I think these are both acceptable alternatives.

Is there a simple way to make it exec for a true test just once rather than every time it tests true?

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.)

I tried the following configuration for the filesystem check but the noalert statement appears to function only for the check not for a specific if test
