How can I threshold Node_Down events ?

[Mark van Kerkwyk <kerkwyk@COMTECH.COM.AU>]

Hi ,
     I must have surely missed something here , but I cannot work out how
to tell Netview not to send Node_Down events until a threshold (time) has
been met.
My customer wants Netview to only send a Node_Down alert when the node has
node responded to 2 or 3 ping attempts.
Since there is only on Node_Down event generated, I can't use a ruleset to
correlate the events together and seta threshold.

Anyone know of a simply way to do this ?
