Yup, it only gets to alert when it's polling the entity configured in your alert checker, but if the device is not polled (due to being down) it will not run the checkers and as such not alert.

Say my alert condition is ifAdmin up ifOper down. Observium send out alerts on both conditions true.
If a device is down, it receives no answer. I guess my question is, if it get no answer for configured conditions, would it alert?
Seems your answer is no it won¹t alert. If that¹s the case, then we are good.

It isn't, and it won't.
Alerts are only generated when things are polled. If a device goes down, only a device status alert is generated.

Hi, Is it possible to aggregate alert emails? When a switch does fail, it might generate thousands of alerts. For our case maybe even thousands of txt messages to a pager. Is it possible to configure observium to detect such kind of massive alerts and aggregate them to only send a few alerts out?
Thanks.
