Node bouncing multiple times in short period

Question

We are looking for a way to setup an alert for a NPM node that bounces multiple times in a matter of several minutes. Our basic alert, notifies after 5 minutes of being down, but chronic bounces are a less common issue that we'd like to alert on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have just published a report, which we use to trigger problem records. Report is an awesome stuff and will highlight issues immediately. With a bit of tweaking (I can help if needed) you can use same principle (based on same SQL query) to fire problem record. Have a a look:

I will need to prepare separate article for this as I believe this will be very valuable for others as well. Give me few days, I will publish it here:The Magic Of SQL Scripts: Do What Counts, Don't Count What You Do

This SQL script will not track nodes, it will track alerts instead. Basically, it will give you all your alerts and number of time they have been triggered - you can then decide yourself how many triggers and in what time window means PROBLEM for you. Because it will only track alerts themselves, not condition - this will fit into your setup just fine.
