Yes. Up, Down, and Unknown work together. A device will always have one of these three status values. Within the Up status, there are four severity levels: Critical, Alarm, Warning, and Okay. These work the way you expect. Alarm clears critical, warning clears alarm, and okay clears everything. >In my vision the down would not have any affect on a warning. As currently implemented, Down/Unknown will explicitly clear warning. If a device is in warning and then goes down (or unknown), the warning is cleared. When the device comes back up, it will re-enter warning again if that condition still exists. We will need to provide an option to change this behavior. >I also hope that OK and up are unique. In most cases if the test can not be >run, I would not consider the application test failed, just unknown. UP and OK are different. It may be possible to map a probe result to the unknown status. Normally, the unknown status is used to indicate that a device is not being polled; it's poll interval is set to non-polling.
