Hiya!

Two questions or requests for some problems that just showed up.

1. Syslog with additional alert checker functionality We use observiums syslogserver for most of our systems and syslog alerts of course. Problem is, we can't set a delay. Like 1 system, 4 reports in 10 Minutes = alert.

Is there any way this could be implemented or is already planned for observium? Main reason is, that we have some systems that need to alert, but only after a specific threshold. Otherwise we get flooded with senseless alarms. Waking up in the middle of the night because of a false alert sucks a bit :)

2. Building OID groups / FC Port monitoring We need a check for our FC switches to report, if a port has the wrong config and runs as FL instead of F. MIB and custom OID are no problem in this case, would be OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3 - and it works. BUT I need to add a custom OID for every port, so 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.1, 1.3.6.1.2.1.75.1.2.1.1.3.1.2 etc. and create an alert check for every OID.

Adding 24 or more custom OID etc. and the checks . well, sucks a bit. Any idea how this could be better managed?
