SNMP + Ping Alerting
Hello!
I would like to setup an alert-checker that would send a notification only if a device is not reachable via both SNMP and ICMP. Is there documentation that explains specifically how to do this?
Thanks!

Hi, if a device is unreachable via SNMP and ICMP Observium will class it as down and you would be able to have have an host down-alert to check for that: http://docs.observium.org/alerting_examples/

Also it only checks things for ICMP if they respond to PING, so both being returned as negative doesn't really happen.

Hello again!
I have an alert-check setup for device_status equals 0"; however, I would like to distinguish with SNMP_down equal 0 then ICMP_equals 0. I want something like this, because I have a host that the SNMP services stop, but the device is still up and operational, so I want to mitigate this "false-positive".
Furthermore, when I enable "ICMP echo check..." within the device properties, the pings don't work, and the device is deemed as down. I want the ICMP functionality.
Thanks for the info!
