Good status mail only when bad status recurrence is => 2

[Thore]

Hi everybody

Following scenario:
I want to have only then a Good Status mail when the bad status has 2 or more recurrences.
So I think a macro like %LastRecurrences% can help me to get this done but unfortunatley this one doesn't exist.
Are they any other ways to get this done?
Thanks for any feedback

I assume you already set "Start when 2 consecutive Bad results occur" option for "Bad" action assigned to the test?
Then you just need to mark "Action depends on bad one" option for "Good" action (use "standard mode" for these actions).

Quote from the manual
===================
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.
