Maybe, the "misbehaviour" might be due to a misunderstanding.

The "check" argument is evaluated during the "delay" time. If during
the "delay" time, the value of "check" is becoming false (or 0), then
the respective alert is not send.

Therefore, "check=1" has no special significance, it just says, the
alert does not depend on anything else than itself.

An example:

  *.conn check=router1.conn delay=5
  router1.conn check=1 delay=0

means that if server1.conn goes down, then Big Sister will wait 5 
minutes before sending an alert message. If within this 5 minutes
router1.conn goes down as well, then no alert for server1.conn is
sent at all. Nevertheless, whenever router1.conn goes down, Big Sister
immediately sends out an alert message immediately.

If you want Big Sister to only send an alert message if a test reports
down for a given time, you will just use i.e.

  *.conn delay=10

If now server1.conn goes down, Big Sister will wait 10 minutes before
raising an alert. If server1.conn goes up during this 10 minutes, then
no alert is sent.

Best regards,
Tom
