We use Intermapper but The Dude works too. Intermapper is less flexible but a 
little easier to setup and maintain, especially for less technical people (we 
have our tech support people adding customers, etc a lot)

We use Mikrotik's The Dude.  To accomplish what you are asking, we setup
Parents to each node.  Now, if the core router is down, we don't get an
email for each AP, switch, ups, EMU, or camera, but we get notified that
that tower's main router went down.  Basically, now we only get the
individual towers that are down, and maybe backhauls to/from each one.

Hi Ed

I was looking also for something that sends one "report email" in case
of failure when multiple nodes are down. If 50 nodes are down and part
of the network is cut out, I will receive 50 emails. I would prefer one
email that summarize what went down and what when up, i.e. the state
change when occurs.

anybody has found something with this approach?

Thank you
