SSH Resilience/Retries for Monitors

Hi all,

I'm getting a lot of 'false downs' with my copy of APM at the moment. It's monitoring a copy of Apache on a server that's relatively poorly connected to our network. The monitor (e.g. for ServerRequestsPerSecond) fails because the SSH connection cannot be established.

Is there a way to get APM to retry the SSH connection a few times before failing the service? I'm confident that it would get through if it tried even twice.

Admittedly, the connection should get sorted out but that's a much bigger project!

Unfortunately there currently is no retry mechanism in APM for the Linux/Unix/Nagios script component monitors.

You should be able to delay the alert action for another polling cycle. This way it will only actually generate an email or whatever if it fails twice in a row. We've had to do this for a few different monitors.
