I have a situation where that wouldn't work.  For example:
You have a check that may automatically recover after the first down (possibly 
a false alarm).  On second down, you are pretty sure that the service needs 
restarting so a restart service command is issued. On third down, you conclude 
the service didn't restart correctly and human intervention is now required.  
The alerting would ideally look like:
1st down: No alert
Up after 1st down: No alert
2nd down: Service x is down, attempting service restart
Up after 2nd down: Service x is UP, service restart successful
3rd down: Service x did not respond to restart, take action!
Up after 3rd down: Service x is UP

As servers Alive is setup now, you would receive the same service up message no 
matter how many times it was down, including the nuisance alerts for first 
downs.

Brett,
Can you do this with two alerts?  DOWN = When x down etc, UP = ONLY when
back up after a down?  That would let you set the subject text separately.

It would be nice to have them together, however, in a single alert page.
