[request] new warning state

M@ster · Post by **M@ster** » Thu Nov 14, 2002 4:23 am

I have configured tests to send alert mails after 3 failures.
But after the first failure, the test shows up red (as failed) in HM. I'd like if the test would show up as failure, after x recurrences.

Or a warning state entered after one threshold, then a failure/alert state if a second threshold is reached. For example,
Disk space free < 10% = Warning
Disk space free < 5% = Alert

Sorry, its impossible. And truth to say I don't see much sense. If test failed, it failed.

It has sense, but its impossible either. At least now.

What I guess he might be getting at:

After the initial failures, make it yellow. Once the action is taken, make it red.

Also:
if a test is unknown, don't take action if status is 'good' again. Only if status was 'bad'.
That would reduce emails a lot

M@ster,

Uncheck 'treat unknown status as bad' in the test properties.

I already did that.
But if the state returns to 'good' after an 'unknown' state, the 'good' action profile is executed.

You can make a good action "depends on bad one". (see the good action properties)

I could do that, but I would have to configure so much additional tests
