I'd also recommend using a local caching dns on the observium system.

Hi,
use alert checker conditions like this:
device_status eq 0 device_status_type ne dns

Hello,
We have had a couple incidents where for one reason or another Observium has been unable to resolve DNS.
This generates hundreds of emails saying the entire network is down, and again when it comes back up.
Is there a way to tell Observium not to alert when a device is failed due to DNS lookup?
