(Get the code!)
Error/warning indicating is universal mechanism and network connection is not the only reason why the indicator icon is showed. This icon stays showed until the user views the log because errors/warning is something that user should be interested in. If he is not interested he can disable indicating in View Log window.
In one of the duplicate reports someone said that internet connection should be checked before indicating error. As far as I know there is not platform independent way how to check if network connection is available. And if it was we should have to know if network is not available because user wants it to be so or not (i.e. if he knows about it or not).
I think the easiest solution is to introduce two configurable threshold values. First for number of subsequent checks in which error/warning occurs and after which the indicator icon is displayed. Second for the number of subsequent checks in which no error/warning occurs and after which the pending error/warning event is cleared and indicator icon is hidden.
If someone has some objections let me know.
