Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. Our email notifications when a node is down are showing as "PING: MACHINE (Ping) is %state". As opposed to state Down. Any ideas why its appearing that way?

Hello,

Thank you for your KB-post.

Please note that the placeholder %state is deprecated as of PRTG version 16.x.24. Please use %status instead which has the same functionality.
