serves up a web page if the database is up. If the database is down there’s no way the HTTP test will succeed on 6030, so I don’t really care if 6030 is alerting me in that case.

on another test, so if you want ICMP you have to set it to depend on the conn test. You can’t use ICMP in the depends. It has to be a column name.
