The feature requests below would be of great benefit. Thanks.
Change test interval if test goes down
(i.e., test1 checked every 15 minutes, if down then check every 2 minutes until up)
Test against other tests, then alert
(e.g.,[test1] mail server 1 is down, but [test2] mail server 2 is up - email alert; [test1 and test2]mail 1 and mail 2 down, send pager alert)
Alert dependencies
(e.g. If the database goes down, and Skytel's mail server is up - page via email; if Skytel's mail server is down, page via modem)

>Change test interval if test goes down

Implemented. Use "Change test interval" action.
>Test against other tests, then alert
(e.g.,[test1] mail server 1 is down, but [test2] mail server 2 is up - email alert; [test1 and test2]mail 1 and mail 2 down, send pager alert)
What about master/dependant tests?
You can set TEST1 as master test for TEST2 with condition to perform TEST2 when TEST1 fails. Action assigned to TEST1 will send e-mail, action assigned to TEST2 will send pager alert.
>Alert dependencies
(e.g. If the database goes down, and Skytel's mail server is up - page via email; if Skytel's mail server is down, page via modem)
It looks like we need to improve HMScript language to make actions much more flexible. May be in version 4
Thank you

Awesome, sorry I missed it.

This isn't flexible enough, what if test2 dies instead of test1? What if I were monitoring 3 mail servers?

Thanks, I really appreciate your flexibility and continued responsiveness.

I agree, in some situations its not flexible enough. Will see what comes in version 4.0..
