    Hello everybody.
    I’m new into Pandora thing so please be patient with me. It would be nice to add feature that would fix this little disadvantage.
    So this is what I’m currently having issue with: Our Pandora FMS system is in the same local network as Microsoft Exchange and it is monitoring external servers. So the problem is when we lose Internet connection, Pandora thinks that all agents are down and sends e-mails to Exchange and than when Internet connection establishes again, Exchange just spams everyone.
    So I wonder if it is possibly to implement the feature that will avoid this things from happening.
    Thanks a lot. And if that king of feature is already presented, please forgive me.

    Hi Volodya,

    Seems your problem will be solved using combined alerts, by firing alerts ONLY if internet connection is OK and the hosts is down.

    Another way, if connection is down just in shorts periods of time, is to put flipflop threshold or alert min alert to 2 or 3.
