it's on the monit todo - alert only on repeated failures. 0% done. :-)
... if you want to, you can give it a stab ;)
meanwhile, a suggestion:
if .... then [repeated] alert
?
Here is an example: in our environment we have ca. 120 servers.
Provided there will be false alerts (let's say similarly to your example
- 20 per server per day => 20 * 2 * 120 = 4800 false messages), trying
to override the volume of false alerts will be overkill. The conclusion
is as suggested - eliminate false alerts (otherwise the additional
repeated messages will make the problem even worser).
As i explained, i think current monit behavior is appropriate and
possible to use.
My vote for repeated alerts feature (at least in this form) is -1.
