I have a CPU test that alerts me only when it's over a percentage 5 times in a row. The problem is let's say it fails only once, the status goes to bad and it doesn't alert me yet which is fine. But if the next test is good (test #2), it sends an alert that it's OK.

Is there a way to make it not e-mail a good status unless it's failed 5 times first? I'm thinking this could be solved if there was a field in the test itself to go to a bad status after a number of bad results in addition to this option in the alert options.

Just use "Action depends on Bad one" option.

That was easy. Sometimes it takes while to find these things in the help file. Too many options these days....but that's a good thing. Program has come a long ways in just a year and a half.
