Routing neighbors in a group

Hi,

I have a lot of alerting rules about BGP neighbors with "complex conditions" to only alert when both neighbors IP from specified nodes are down.

I wanted to avoid that kind of specific alerting rules by using a generic alert rule and creating a group composed of both node+neighbors IP

Unfortunatly, we can't add neighbor IP because "routing neighbors" type is missing :

Any solution ?

Actually it almost works but in case of maintenance, the whole node have to be "unmanaged" as we can't unmanage a specific neighbor IP + the network team is not autonomous to create alerting rules and need to contact us.

I've not done this with routing neighbour. So if I understand you request then to simplify alerts we create a custom property which is named as we see fit and contains the relevant objects. Then simply reference this CP in the alert

Thanks for your answer ; custom property is not a good solution for us

what i want is to be able to create a group and put as member : "node - neighbor IP"

I'm probably mis-understanding but you create the group by using the custom property.

It does not work like this ; if you have never used routing neighbor then i think you will not be able to answer the question

"routing neighbor" is not a "object", you can't create a group with them
