NAME

6       Smokeping::matchers::ConsecutiveLoss - Raise/clear alerts according to
7       your choice of threshold and consecutive values
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Use this matcher to raise and clear alerts according to your choice of
11       threshold and consecutive values.  As an example, you can raise an
12       alert on first occurrence of 50% packet loss, but choose to hold the
13       alert active until packet loss stays below 10% for 5 consecutive
14       measurements.
15
16       Add the matcher to your config file using below syntax:
17
18        type = matcher
19        edgetrigger = yes
20        pattern =  ConsecutiveLoss(pctlossraise=>##,stepsraise=>##,pctlossclear=>##,stepsclear=>##)
21
22       Replace the ## with integers of your choice, see below for reference:
23
24       pctlossraise - Loss values at or above this percentage will raise an
25       alert when...  stepsraise - ... number of consecutive values have been
26       collected
27
28       pctlossclear - Loss values below this percentage will clear an alert
29       when...  stepsclear - ... number of consecutive values have been
30       collected
31
32       In my environment, I define four alerts for levels like:
33
34        +packetloss_significant_instantalert
35        type = matcher
36        pattern = ConsecutiveLoss(pctlossraise=>10,stepsraise=>1,pctlossclear=>3,stepsclear=>3)
37        comment = Instant alert - Significant packet loss detected (At least 10% over 1 cycle). Alert will clear when loss stays at max 2% for 3 cycles
38        priority = 30
39
40        +packetloss_major_instantalert
41        type = matcher
42        pattern = ConsecutiveLoss(pctlossraise=>25,stepsraise=>1,pctlossclear=>3,stepsclear=>3)
43        comment = Instant alert - Major packet loss detected (At least 25% over 1 cycle). Alert will clear when loss stays at max 2% for 3 cycles
44        priority = 20
45
46        +packetloss_significant_consecutivealert
47        type = matcher
48        pattern = ConsecutiveLoss(pctlossraise=>10,stepsraise=>3,pctlossclear=>3,stepsclear=>5)
49        comment = Consecutive occurrence of significant packet loss detected (At least 10% over 3 cycles). Alert will clear when loss stays at max 2% for 5 cycles.
50        priority = 10
51
52        +packetloss_major_consecutivealert
53        type = matcher
54        pattern = ConsecutiveLoss(pctlossraise=>25,stepsraise=>3,pctlossclear=>3,stepsclear=>5)
55        comment = Consecutive occurrence of significant packet loss detected (At least 25% over 3 cycles). Alert will clear when loss stays at max 2% for 5 cycles.
56        priority = 5
