Deferred Action and Expressions

thomasschmeidl · Post by **thomasschmeidl** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 3:10 pm

We use expressions as conditions to start action like

((%Recurrences%==3) or ('%TestMethod%'=='SNMP Trap') or ('%TestMethod%'=='check NT Event Log')) and ('%SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN')

= start action once after the 3rd failed test except for Trap and event log tests (start action immediately)

Q: Can I use such expressions with deferred actions, too? = Will the recurrences counter count only during the scheduled times or will it start counting when the test fails out of scheduled time.

Yes, you may use "deferred" option for "advanced" mode action

Will the recurrences counter count only during the scheduled times or will it start counting when the test fails out of scheduled time.

Recurrences counts tests, not actions. It does not matter what schedule do you use for the action. If performed test returns the same status, counter will be incremented
