Hi Steve,
Thank You for the suggestion but that might help because it would only mean a 1 minute down time before a red which is not ideal but might help in the mean while. What I think this does:
- Ping fails
- Condition stays green
- Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
- Ping fails
- Condition stays green
- Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
- Ping fails
- Condition changes to yellow
- Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
- Ping fails
- condition stays Yellow
- Ping is retried in 1 minute per setting
- Ping fails
- Condition goes Red
If that is correct then it will not work for me but this gives me some things to try. Because the site will be down for 5 whole minutes before Red. This certainly shows off the thought put in to the software though! But this might work with some modifications.
It prompts me to ask a different question can the retry be set for less then 1 minute? I'm gonna go search the docs and list!
Thank You Steve you might be onto something!

Thanks Josh,
The one thing I did try was to add a command switch to fping that would produce that output just like a windows ping, (I think it was -c=3) but that just breaks the conn test and I get red all around. Well I'll impatiently wait for the release and hope this issue gets resolved ;-). Thanks for the answer Josh at least I know there is hope.
Have you looked at the badTEST bbtag ? you could use badconn:3:3:5. That would go yellow after 3 & red after 5 successive ping failures. Though maybe too much of a delay for you. man bb-hosts for more info on badTEST usage.
