Can these be combined as well? Ie do multiple http checks and go red
only if all fail?

TIA...

You might be able to fake it to enough satisfaction... using a combo test. You might want to put the tests on a separate page, maybe explore the NOPROPRED options. Make sure that the individual tests don't trigger alarms. set up a combo test to go red if the tests all go red, and set off an alert. Just a thought. -Alan
