Perhaps a problem in the order of your rules?

I have been trying to tune our email notifications and can't get it to wait to notify me of an issue until the issue has been present for a set amount of time. I have a rule set in the "Delay host notifications" and another in the "Delay service notifications" rule set. I however am seeing email notifications for an issue that go from OK to Crit back to OK 2 minutes apart even with a delay of 5 minutes. How do I get Check_MK to only send out email notifications if a service or host is having issues for a few minutes?

Hallo Daniel,

How do I get Check_MK to only send out email notifications if a service or host is having issues for a few minutes?

I would use "Maximum number of check attempts for host" and " Maximum number of check attempts for service" Rules for that purpose.
It defines after how many check-attempts it takes for a state to change from Soft to Hard state (only the hard state triggers notifications).

So if a problem resolves itself on let's say 2nd check-attempt (assuming "Maximum number of check attempts for host/service" is set to 3 or higher), then you won't get any notifications at all.
Particularly useful if you want your "Host-Down/UP"-notifications only after a host has been down/up for at least 1 minute, instead of notifying you at the first connection problem.

Regards,
Aleksej Baer
