Notification Profiles 2 missed Polls
Currently notification profiles only support 1, 3 or more missed polls. Whilst you can increse the polling interval to, it would be good to have 2 as an option for missed polls.
For example, you might consider that a device on a 5 minute poll, if it misses 1 poll, it could be a network error or slow performance of the device responding. However if you wait for 3 missed polls, you will be waiting 15 minutes before being alerted. Whilst both are ok options, it would be nice to have 2 missed polls as an option here, so that you could retain a 5 minute (or whatever interval) poll, and be notified after 2 missed attempts.
Obviously, reducing the poll interval to say 3 minutes increases the load on the polled device, as well as the probe. So more granular control would be benficial.
