We are doing some checks, could be ping, could be http content. We want to allow (in some cases) 3 or more failures before it would email an alert or notification. We can do that fine, however when it then succeeds we get notified the system is up. We don't want those up notifications unless it has failed 3 time and notified us down 1st. See, we are getting up pages with out a previous down page at this point.... the way we have it set.
thanks.

Its easy - use "Action depends on bad one" option (mark this option for your "good" action").
Quote from the manual
Quote:

Action depends on "bad" one
This optional parameter is available for "Good" actions only. You can set "Good" action dependable on a "Bad" action. Why do you need it? For example you defined "Bad" action to send an e-mail notification to the network administrator when test fails 3 times consecutively (start when 3 consecutive "Bad" results occur), also you defined «Good» action to send a notification when the test status changes to "Good". What will happen if test fails 1 or 2 times and after this it restores "Good" status? HostMonitor will not send a notification about failure (because test did not fail 3 times) but the program will send notification about restoring "Good" status. To avoid unnecessary "Good" action execution you can mark "Action depends on "bad" one" option and select "Bad" action. In this case HostMonitor will start "Good" action only if corresponding "Bad" action was executed.

Regards
Alex

Thanks. Right under our nose. That's the ticket. We were making things too hard on ourselves with macros and master, slave stuff.
