Hey,
Is there a way to create an alert checker that will only report devices down if a device they are behind is up?
We have remote offices with 100's of devices, and if there is a WAN issue, we receive 100's of alerts from Observium for that location. Is there a way to create a condition in an alert checker that a device (ex: router) has to be in an "up" status in order for devices behind it to alert as "down" That way if the Router/WAN is "down" we would only get that alert, not all the other devices.
Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in TN
Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: device_status equals 0 Device Match: location match *TN* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 1
Example: This Alert Checker only alerts on devices in CA when the Router (specific device) is "up"
Entity Type: Device Check Conditions: A Specific Device status equals 1 // check that office WAN router is "up" (I know this not a correct syntax, just example) device_status equals 0 //check that device is down AND Device Match: location match *CA* Entity Match: * Alert Delay 2
Cheers!
