Well it depends on the solution you choose. It is possible to configure Nagios to do this, see here.

And I'm pretty sure that Big Brother can also be configured to warn/page only once per alert - but again, check the docs.

If you were just monitoring a single or a few processes and rolling your own simple monitor using Proc::ProcessTable, then it's just a matter of working out exactly what you want, and then defining a few rules. For example, you may set a flag once an alert goes off and a notification is sent, and then only reset the flag after either the alert goes away, or a certain time has elapsed. Writing a script should be the easy part - it's defining the business rules and getting them right that is the tricky bit :)

Cheers,
Darren :)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
