That will be perfect!

dialup The keyword "dialup" for a host means that it is OK for it to be
off-line - this should not trigger an alert. All network tests will go
"clear" upon failure, and any missing reports from e.g. cpu- and disk-status
will not go purple when they are not updated. Thanks Greg!

that it will solve your problem, but you can try it out and see if it is any
help at all.

When you say "ok" when down - is this white?

 If you specify your IP as "dialup" it will be "ok" when down, and
"green" when up.  Then you can alert on "green" without having to fiddle
with "disable until OK" every time there is a transition.  Just an idea...

  Sorry what's the question?

  I have a fallback IP that is specified on a device that will only be
used in the event it can't reach the DHCP server.  Should it have this
problem, I (obviously :) would like to know!

I am thinking about having it disabled until OK, then just alert me when
it changes to green.

Does anyone have a better solution?  Perhaps something that won't sit on
the menu blue for eternity?
