Help with "advanced mode" action

[ixtab]

Hi,

I hope you can help me with this issue.

I would like to achieve this result:

1) If the test is bad for 4 consecutive iterations then send email "A" for each iteration
2) If the same test is bad for more than 4 consecutive iterations then send ONE email "B" (and not send any other emails "A" or "B" until the test is good again and the cycle starts from scratch).

For example:

If there are 3 bads and then 1 good it will send emails: A, A, A
If there are 5 bads and then 1 good it will send emails: A, A, A, A, B
If there are 20 bads and then 1 good it will send emails: A, A, A, A, B (same as the above)

I tried creating 2 "bad" actions on one profile. Both with advanced mode like this:

('%SimpleStatus%'<>'UP') and (%CurrentStatusIteration% < 5) will send email "A"

('%SimpleStatus%'<>'UP') and (%CurrentStatusIteration% > 4) will send email "B"

Only problem is that e-mail "B" is being sent multiple times for every consecutive bad > 4

I also tried to have this combination:
('%SimpleStatus%'<>'UP') and (%CurrentStatusIteration% < 5) will send email "A"

('%SimpleStatus%'<>'UP') and (%CurrentStatusIteration% = 5) will send email "B"

But for some reason if there are a lot of bad events in a short time (within a second or two) it doesn't seem to catch the "=5" event and I only get 4 "A" emails and nothing else.

Any idea will be appreciated.

Thanks!
