Check-host-again until-status-chang should wait between Test

Post by JuergenF »

When using the Action
"Check-host-again" in an action profile with the setting
"Repeat until status changes" will perform a permanent checking "loop".

The function is useful to get an up-to-date-status of the test, but the problem i see is:
If the test is bad because of heavy load on the tested machine, the loop will additionally increase that load.

My suggestion:
Implement a "wait-between-test-timer" in seconds for the option "Repeat until status changes"

I found the Option "Set new test interval" within the Action profiles.

That will fit my request.

I think "Change test interval" action is what you need?
