Advanced Condition Options |
|
By way of the advanced options that are available with the 
button, a name, a description as well as a type of evaluation can be determined. Here you have three options:
| • | Perform action once if the condition persists. This is the standard setting. You will be notified once when a problem occurs, and then again only when the condition, at a minimum, is not met and then another action will take place. This reduces the amount of messages in your mailbox when an email action is defined. |
| • | Always perform action if condition is met. The action is continuously executed, independent of previous results. |
| • | Perform action if condition is met n-times consecutively. You can choose after how many failures an action is executed. This is useful e.g. by a web server that times out although the server is functioning normally. Note that this setting is dependent upon the check interval. |
| • | Perform action if the condition is not met after it is met |
Dialog box for Advanced Condition Options
Through this setting you can create, with different combinations, interesting scenarios; you want to be informed upon the first problem and then again after 10 or more failures so that the problem doesn't go on forgotten?
Then configure two of the same conditions, that meet your criteria, so that the first condition is at the standard level (Perform action once if the condition persists). For the second condition, choose the option "Perform action if condition is met n-times consecutively", set the value to 10. Click OK.
Choose the same action for both conditions.
