Change action interval but leave test interval as is?

[xcentric]

Currently I have a few tests set for every minute and a "Bad" after 5 failed atempts.

My issue is that I receive only "one" email when a "Bad" ocurs.
I could set the action profile to "until status changes" but then I receive an email every minute based on the test interval.
I could set the action profile to change the interval to say an hour but then the test itself is performed every hour along with the action.

Is there a way to keep the test interval at 1 minute but have the action repeated every hour after a "Bad" ocurs without using dependency tests?

Sure, you may use "advanced mode" actions and expression like
('%SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and (%Recurrences% mod 60==5)

Wow, you guys really have put thought and "logic" in this solution.

I need to explore using expressions more.

Thank you.

Previously I used the "Action depends on "Bad" one." for good actions.

Now that I use the expression above, the good action triggers on every bad instead of depending on bad.

Do I need to use another expression for the good action as well?

I have reviewed this thread but I am unclear how to write the expression.

Something like
('%SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and (%udv_new_global_variable%>5)

Global Variable = %PreviousStatusDuration_sec% div %Interval_sec%

You will probably laugh at that but I tried. I havent wrapped my head completely around the logic yet but I'm progressing.

For "Good" action, you may use expression like this:

Code: Select all

('%SimpleStatus%'=='UP') and ((%PreviousStatusDuration_sec% div %Interval_sec%) >= 5) AND (%Recurrences% == 1)

This expression will start "Good" action one time, after test has "Bad" status 5 or more times.

Also "Good" action expression may look like:

Code: Select all

('%SimpleStatus%'=='UP') and (%PreviousStatusDuration_sec% >= 300) AND (%Recurrences% == 1)

Great. Thank you. Exactly what I needed to acomplish.

Now it makes sense.
If the status is up and the last status was equal or more than 5 minutes ago and the current recurrence is 1 then trigger good action.

You are welcome !
