Hi all,
maybe this is a FAQ, but still I can’t find a way to avoid seeing ALL customer devices down, from the outside, if the firewall only is down.
I think that it would suffice to define a rule to mask a device status behind a “master” one.

This is not possible.
The lengthy poller times make such a scheme unlikely to work well, with devices sometimes appearing down, and sometimes not, since it might be another 5 minutes before the firewall's availability is checked again.
It seems that this is just asking for confusion. It's much better, imo, to rely on predictable behaviour than to try to force u predictable behaviour for the potential to save a few seconds of time looking at a list.
