Sensu alert once on down check every six hours.

Just wondering how easy this is, and I don’t mind if anybody can toss me the Ruby script I would need to hack up to get it working. I didn’t notice any built-in configuration parameters off the site.

I just want one alert every six hours per down service. Thanks for any help!

Actually I think this sort of thing would be handle in your JSON check definition rather than the handler script. I don't have an example in front of me because I'm mobile but I recall doing something similar and it had to do with the service check interval.

Just to clarify my original question in case it was not very informative - what I mean is something like a service goes down, but the checks continue checking the down service, but only one alert is sent. Essentially, to avoid spamming whomever is on call or pagerduty.

(assuming you are using standard handlers)
