There are several posible solutions.
The first one is to use "Action depends on "bad" one" option. Quite from the manual:
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... properties
===============================
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.
===============================

Another solution is to use "advanced mode action" with the following expression:

Code: Select all

('%SimpleStatus%'=='UP') and (%Recurrences%==1)

Please, read the following article for details: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... ncedaction
