Stuck on another expression

[xcentric]

I am having difficulty with an expression.

No matter how many recurrences there are for a test, I always want the first 4 failed probes to be a Warning status then 5 and after a Bad status.

I have part of the solution that works but stuck on completion due to a side effect.

I have

Code: Select all

("%SuggestedSimpleStatus%"=="DOWN") and (%Recurrences%<4)

This works however if there are more then 5 successful probes a subsequent failed probe issues a Bad status then Warning statuses after.

This happens because the previous recurrences was above 4. So no warning status is given until a second probe fails.

I have tried setting the recurreces in the exp to <>5 but this causes bad statuses after 5 recurrences to be warning statuses.

I tried using previous statuses in the mix but struggling to see this one though.

Please advise.

You are using %SuggestedSimpleStatus% variable because manual states the following
====================
- HostMonitor performs the test;
- processes "Reverse alert" option;
- sets "suggested" macro variables (%SuggestedStatus%, %SuggestedSimpleStatus%, %SuggestedReply%, %SuggestedRecurrences% and %FailureIteration%) without touching regular counters (%Status%, %Reply%, %Recurrences%, etc);
- then HostMonitor evaluates "Warning", "Normal" and "Tune up Reply" expressions and finally modifies current test status, reply field and statistics counters (Status, Reply, Alive%, Passed tests, Failed tests, etc).
=====================
Right?
So, you should use %SuggestedRecurrences%

BTW: I think expression like ("%SuggestedSimpleStatus%"=="DOWN") and (%FailureIteration%<4) would suit your needs better
