Go to the channel settings at the uptime sensor and set the warning or error state below x seconds

We have set the uptime sensor to error state below 3600 seconds. So we get a notification if the node was rebooted and uptime is lower the one hour.

sure, but I'd like to be alerted when uptime will start from zero seconds (it means that a reboot occurred). I couldn't figure out how to get it..
