How to use Good Status Action ?

I may be missing something obvious but I seem to have a problem with the "Good" Status action.

I want to check cpu, if I have 100% on 3 successive tests I send a sms page, I did that via "Bad" Status Action and all is ok.

Now I want to be be notified if the status of the cpu goes under 100% after being 3 times over 100% so I put a "Good" status action and it sort of works only that if I have 1 test at 100% then as soon as it gets under 100% I get a Status Good message. What I would like is to have a Status Good message only if I get 3 successive test at 100% and then it goes under 100%.

Jax: In the Action Properties Dialog for the 'good test', you simply need to set 'Start when 3 consecutive 'good' results occur.

I do something similar to this that I posted about at:

Also, are you making both the 'good' and 'bad' actions part of the same action profile?

Thanks for the reply tim, unfortunately that does not work, if you set the good test at 3 it still send a status good message after 1fail+3 good.

What I want is have the status good message only when we get 3 fail + any number of good 1 or 3 does not matter.

You should use "Action depends on bad one" option.
