All questions related to installations, configurations and maintenance of Advanced Host Monitor (including additional tools such as RMA for Windows, RMA Manager, Web Servie, RCC).
New to Host Monitor, but I come from a Nagios background, so I have a question I can't seem to find in the FAQs / manual
In Nagios theres is a concept of hard and soft failure - an example shows it best:
I have Service A I check every 10 minutes. A check fails, so I can specify that Nagios recheck this 3 time at 1 minute intervals rather than the 'normal' 10 minute gaps to be sure that the service is down and not just obscured by a network glitch or something.
As far as I can see, in AHM, I can only check for hard failure, so I need to check more often and set the alerts after a few failures - obviously this makes for more traffic. Is this the best way to replicate the checking I'm used too?

You may use "Change test interval" action. http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... etInterval
This action allows changing the test time interval. In addition to the common action parameters choose one of the options:
* Restore original value - restores the original test time interval that was defined by user using Test Propetries dialog
* Set to HH:MM:SS - set interval to the specific value
* Set to N% of the current value - increases or decreases the current test time interval by the specified amount of times.
