About 9000 orders of magnitude easier said than a configuration interface for this sort of thing is created.

I have a similar issue at the moment with notifications for High CPU usage

We monitor a VM which has high CPU, but we also monitor the VM host machine which has high CPU because of that VM

And im getting double notifications for the high CPU usage

It would be handy to say dont send alerts for high cpu usage for the VM as the host machine will send the alerts for high cpu usage

So you think I should create 2 CPU alert checks then?

One for the host machines

One for the VMs?

I guess it also depends on the virtualization tech used (if you can't distinguish by hostname), but for example many of my VMs have "QEMU Virtual version 1.0" as description for the CPU, which I could exclude.

But of course you should only really be alerting on the "average" pseudo entity... :D

Alerting on individual cores  is craaaaaaaazzyyyyyyyyyy

Our mikrotik switches only have 1 core, so it only shows a single CPU and don't show an AVERAGE cpu :(

note that this can easily be solved with multiple association rules (and is why multiple rules are possible)

have one locked to linux/windows that matches average only, and one that excludes linux/windows that matches everything.
