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!
Vic
