Thanks for the advice :)
Unfortunately, this did not complete either objective... When a switch goes 
down with 24 hosts behind it, I'd only like an alert that the switch is down- 
not 250+ alerts that services are down on the hosts or that the ports on the 
switch aren't working properly- simply that the switch itself is down. Is there 
no way to do this?
Thanks!

Nick,

 

Make sure you don’t have alerts enabled for Unreachable Hosts or
Unknown Services.

 

A host will alert as unreachable if its parent is down.

 

Review your host and service checks and see what they are set to
alert for.

 

We only alert Critical and Recovery.

Hello-



 





I
have alerts set up, but if a parent device fails, i get the alerts for all
parent services and all services below that device. How can I configure alerts
to say "DEVICE DOWN" only if a parent is down and suppress alerts
from the services below it?





 





Thanks!
