    PHP Server Monitor is a great tool. I have to thank everyone who is involved in this project.

    I have one little issue: Immediatly when one of the websites I am observing has a problem, I get an email alert. Almost always only one minute later I get a second email saying everything is running ok again. Like this I get about 40 emails a day.

    Is it possible to configure the alert like this: Send an email only if the website is down for a several time, e.g. 5 or 10 minutes?

    Hi,

    There is a field called "Warning threshold" which can be used for this purpose. This field indicates the number of failed checks required before going into error state.
    For example, if you set the threshold to "2", and the check fails the first time, the server goes into warning mode. You will not receive any notifications just yet. If the check fails one more time, it goes into error mode and you will receive your notifications.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards,
    Pep
