We have had situations where the outage took out the WUG server (UPS failure) and we never knew about the MAJOR outage!
Good luck.

So let me understand what your saying. You're telling me I have to put
in at least 3-4 additional notifications PER person PER system? Doesn't
sound very user friendly to me when a simple checkbox option could
easily do the trick. I'm sure other users of WUG would be interested in
a feature such as this. Wouldn't you agree?
IMHO, Ipswitch needs to flesh out their recurring notifications feature
a little more and it will help their product immensely.
still my 2 cents,
Kris

No need to make a second node, just make a second notification on the
same one, with the greater number of timeouts as desired. On duplicated
notifications like this, turn off Auto Send Up on one or the other so
you only get one Up notification. You can use the Device Identifier
field to put in the extended outage memo, such as "Down for One Hour".

address and have that node alarm only after N timeouts, where N is
enough to make 1 hour... That way you can attach any notification you
want to get after the ping fails for 1 hour...
