Grouping of Nagios alerts

Hi!

I want to group alerts in Nagios and want to know if and how that can be done?

So something like 1 alert for multiple alerts and I am notified only once than multiple times.

I tried using nan and nans (two of the opensource solutions) and tried hooking them into Nagios but after getting the alert initially the perl scripts that are part of nan and nans are not called by Nagios.

Is there some workable solution for this kind of problem?

Thanks,
Jack.

solterm

solterm(1)						   IPMI Serial over LAN program 						solterm(1)

NAME

       solterm - An IPMI Serial over LAN program

SYNOPSIS

       solterm

       <connection   parms>  [-e  escape_char]	[-notencrypted]  [-notauthenticated]  [-bitrate  (9600|19200|38400|57600|115200)]  [-alerts  (suc-
       ceed|defer|fail)] [-holdoff] [-ack-retries n] [-ack-timeout microseconds] [-v] [-q]

DESCRIPTION

       The solterm program allows a user to make a remote serial connection over IPMI.	The requires that  the	remote	system	support  IPMI  2.0
       Serial Over LAN.

OPTIONS

       <connection parms>
	      The parameters for the connection depend on the connection type.	These are all described in openipmi_conparms (7)

       -e escape_char
	      The  character  to use to escape, or exit, the program.  Entering this chatacter right after a newline is entered causes the program
	      to go into command mode.	A single character after this performs a command.  The default escape character is  "~"  as  shown  below.
	      Suppported commands are:

	      ~.     Terminate the program

	      ~B     Send a serial BREAK over the connection

	      ~F     Flush all buffers

	      ~R     Assert the Ring Indicator (RI) line

	      ~r     Deassert the Ring Indicator (RI) line

	      ~D     Assert DCD and DSR lines

	      ~d     Deassert DCD and DSR lines

	      ~C     Pause the output using CTS

	      ~c     Put CTS under BMC control

	      ~?     Help on escape commands

	      ~~     Enter the escape character twice to send it.

       -notencrypted
	      Do not encrypt the SOL data going over the connection.

       -notauthenticated
	      Do not do integrity checks on the SOL data going over the connection.

       -bitrate
	      Set the bitrate to the given value.  The default is whatever the BMC has set it to.

       -alerts
	      This specifies what to do if a alert that requires a callout occurs on the line.

	      succeed
		     specifies that serial/modem alerts are to succeed while SoL is active.

	      deferred
		     specifies that serial/modem alerts are to be deferred for the duration of the SoL session.

	      fail   specifies that serial/modem alerts automatically fail during the SoL session. This is the default.

       -holdoff
	      Specifies  that  CTS,  DTR,  and	DSR are to be deasserted at the start of the SoL session so that the configuration may be modifeid
	      before the handshake is released.

       -v     Be more verbose.	Maybe specified multiple time for more output.

       -q     Be less verbose.	Maybe specified multiple time for less output.
