Hi Stefano,
The old alerting system did more than host up/down, but this was probably the biggest hurdle for people to being able to disable the legacy system.
I'm going to have a look if the old one did anything the current one can't do with checkers but I think there might be nothing left.
If you were relying on the legacy system for host up/down only, you can definitely turn it off.
- Entity type: Device - Checker condition: device status = 0 - Host match: * (or whatever you want to monitor, only) - Entity match: *
will give you host up/down alerting.

Hi Tom,
if I understood correctly, does this metric replace the legacy up/down alerting system?
Thanks,
Stefano

Yup, you need a more recent version, device entity was added 17/4.

I see in the wiki that there is a "device_status" metric, but I can't figure out how to use it. There is no "Device" entity type when I try to make a new alert checker. Is this feature still in development?
