Log after x many times of bad status

I think I requested this a long time ago but wanted to mention it again. I have a test that alerts after 5 bad events in a row. This of course is setup in the alerting section. Problem is is logs everytime it goes bad so I end up with tons of logged events when they really aren't significant unless it's down 5 times in a row.

I would like to see a test level option, along with or instead of alert level, for if bad after x many times.

Thanks.

We have task to create "log record" action in our "to do" list. If you disable "common log" option for the test and add "log record" action to the action profiles, HostMonitor will do what you need. Right?

I see a log event action to log it in an event log. I currently log everything to a SQL database only. I can't find a way to do this in the alerting section. If this is possible, then it would solve this problem. I think the suggestion would be a nice option though, if possible.

>I currently log everything to a SQL database only

In this case you don't have to wait for next version. Use "SQL Query" action.
Just add one "bad" action (start after 5 consecutive bad results occur) and add one "good" action (start after 1 good result occurs). Make "good" action dependent on "bad" one. Also disable "use common log" option for the test (Test Properties dialog).
