Re: Sending alerts only on failure, not on recovery

[Martin Pala]

Hi,

monit doesn't allow to turn off the recovery event currently. It should 
provide the feedback that the service is up again so the admin can sleep 
in peace again ;) Maybe we can make the recovery alarm optional in the 
future monit versions.

You can also use some workarounds, such as set the mail server or 
client-side filter to remove the recovery message.
