I agree. IMO it's pretty uncommon not wanting to be alerted about services gone good again.

I propose to have ${var:okfields} also to be able to silence "OK" alerts.

Could you please elaborate your wish a bit more?
(if it is still relevant)

Hello!

Currently the alert from failing state to OK state is always sent. I'd like to avoid it.

[sumpfralle]

I would recommend to filter this in your setup.Something like the following should help:

contact.email.command if [ "${var:worst}" != "OK" ]; then mail -s "Munin-notification for ${var:group} :: ${var:host}" [email protected]; fi

I think, we should keep this kind of specific configuration outside of munin.

Other opinions?

@ssm Could you weigh in?

I'd try the suggestion proposed by @sumpfralle first, if possible.

OK - so let us stick with configuration instead of code in this case.
