Maybe doing something relational - 

Like Y devices are dependent on X device - therefore if X device is down, then it is highly probably Y would be down as well - I am sure there is some draw back I am not thinking about here

Thoughts for down the road

Hi Joey,

Hmm. This was something we thought about when I was first building the alerting system, but I never really came up with a good solution. Suppressing things at random seems like a bad idea.

Hi All,

I’m looking for advice on how to deal with alert storms. For example, we lost a UPS last night at a critical hub which cause Observium not to be able to reach most of our networks (and of course, all the alternative OSPF routes were powered via that UPS). Consequently we had several hundred alerts sent out via email and telegram. Is there any interesting way to deal with this that anyone can recommend?

Thanks,

Joey
