Is it bug or feature ?

I see some strange behaviour of alerts system in HostMonitor 4.30.
We need to play sound file repeatedly if important channels are down and use "Wakeup Window" to do it.
It is good feature, but why this window doesn't close when channel is recovered ?
It's not good if program crying when everything is already OK and i must stop sound manually.
Is it bug or feature ?
How can I get system which plays sound repeatedly until channel is down and stops playing when channel is up ?

Its "by design" behavior. I think we will add new option in the future versions.
As workaround you may
- turn of "Show WakeUP window and play sound repeatedly" option;
- switch "Repeat" option to "until status changes";
- if the test performs too seldom, you may use "Change test interval" action to perform action (and play sound) more oftten in case of failure.

Thank you for advice, but for important channels even every minute is not enough, it would be better if sound plays repeatedly until channel is down.
I was wondered - your product is a very good tool, I've tried many such programs, but they doesn't suit me.
I hope to see this feature in future versions.

Sincerely yours

Yeah, we will improve actions and add some new in the future versions. I think we did not touch this part for too long
