Advance Alert Supression: Web Console

Hello all thank you for read.

I just setup a web console alert for each time a node goes down, but i want to suppress 2 alerts, when the main node goes down (cancell all: all ready done).

And I have one repating alert and I want to suspend it using the same tab, is this posible? with the advanced alert setup?

Check out and example with my attach for the main node ping google to know if i have internet or not (as main node).

And i have no idea for supress the other

Thank your for read.

Hi,
Any alert that uses suppression techniques needs to be an advanced alert.
Then in the alert rules, for the device alerts you want to suppress, add an AND statement that makes the alert conditional on the up / down status of the other device.

Very simply, if you have devices A, B, and C, where B and C are behind, or dependent on device A, then your alert rule for B or C would look something like:

Generate Alert where B is down and A is up.
This would then suppress down alerts for device B if device A is down.

Just as another note, depending on where you are located, a more efficient way of confirming internet access would be for you to ask your ISP for their gateway address & ping that, or else a web server hosted at least in your town.
Less hops, less time.
