Hi.

Is it possible to get Icinga to alert in either of the following situations:

1. The check value is lower than the previous check value.

I'm looking for a way to monitor something which is assumed to steadily 
increase (maybe stay the same between checks, but not go down) and I want an 
alert if the check value is less than the previously-measured value.

I guess there would be situations where "higher than" would also be useful.


2. The rate at which something has been increasing over recent checks 
indicates that it will cross a certain threshold within a certain amount of 
time.

I'm thinking here about something like disk space.  If I have a 2Tbyte disk, 
and it gets 85% full, I don't necessarily care, unless that remaining 15% 
looks like it'll get used up rather quickly.

So, I want to be notified not simply because disk usage has crossed some 
arbitrary threshold (eg: 85%), but because it's gone from 75% to 85% in the 
past 24 hours, and therefore it's likely to reach 100% in the next 24-48 
hours.

100% is what I'm really interested in, and if it's going to take 2 months to 
get there, it doesn't matter if I was using 84% ten minutes ago, and I'm using 
85% now.

On the other hand, I do care if the rate of increase suggests I'm going to run 
out within the next X days/hours/minutes/whatever.

So, can I create an alert which goes off if the predicted value will be N 
within the next X time units, no matter what the value is right now?


Thanks,


Antony.
