Kann ich in #CheckMK irgendwas machen, dass False-Positives von #HTTP Checks nicht sofort in den Fehlerzustand gehen?

Also, dass ein Check mindestens einmal wiederholt wird, ehe der Zustand in den Fehler geht.

Ich habe hier hunderte Checks, die mehrmals am Tag rot und dann mit dem nächsten Check wieder grün werden und das geht mir dezent auf den Zeiger.
