Does NMIS have the ability to identify chronic problems?

Wondering if NMIS has the ability to identify a chronic problem.  For example, an interface that has gone down 3 or more times in the last 72 hours.

      nmis does collect and display a number of configurable health metrics that cover a device's recent past. these are documented on the  NMIS Key Performance Indicators page, and they include the "interface availability" of a node, tracking how often and how long an interface has been down.

      to react to chronic repeat problems of that kind you can use a threshold alert, and nmis comes with a standard threshold alert for interface availability.

      at this time nmis does not have a mechanism for reacting to a particular number of occurrences of a problem in a  time window, but our event management application opEvents does support this - see Event Correlation for details.
