Placing a sensor down only when hit 3 requirements example: The sensor will link down if and only if the first ping and ping pind 2 and 3 do not funcinarem. The goal is to prevent the notification link is sent down based on just a ping test to an external site, for example.

In the case of the Ping sensor, all you would need to do is to change the sensor settings to using multiple Pings. In your case, you could define a value of 3 - as such, the sensor would only enter a down state if all 3 Pings fail.

The solution was to use the customized sensor with status (idsensor1) and status (idsensor2) and status (idsensor3). The ping is sent to different sites eg google.com, microsoft.com, adobe.com, to check if my link is ok. If the three present failure, the problem is on my link, and I must correct. Problem solved.
