 Gents,
 I’m trying to trigger an event based upon availability in the ”load balancer” section, trying to find a variable in the device data that I can trigger on.
 
 Basically I want to trigger if a Virtual Server is down, or if the HA status change. All that is visible in the GUI but not sure if I can create a trigger for it in the Alarm section, possible?
