The thing with this server is:
- He gets warm every now and then
- We observed how this happens (management jobs, cleanup jobs, backup jobs, many simultanous user queries, etc etc)
- Except for the planned jobs we cannot set a service period because user queries happen randomly
- 80°C is okay for CRIT
- But we don’t want to recieve 30 mails a day whenever the temperature exceeds the threshold for a very limited time
That’s why we would like to recieve mails but only if the temperature exceeds the limit for too long.
I could set CRIT for 90°C, but we wouldn’t get any notifications at all (or close to any, the server reached 90°C for a few seconds once in the last months).
