Question regarding cycles

[Andreas Oesterer]

I'm dealing with busy HTTP servers that might not always reply. I want to only receive an email if the test failed multiple times in a row. According to the ducumentation this syntax "should" work:

 

check host xxx with address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
  if failed port 80 for 3 times within 3 cycles then alert
 

However I only get the following error:

 

/etc/monitrc:21: Error: syntax error '3'
 

 

 

What I'm I doing wrong?

 

 

Thanks, Andreas
