Group Alerts - nested groups

Question

I have nested groups and was wondering if anyone has found a way to report the down node when that node is under another level.  Take the following example when one of the nodes goes down.

MAINGROUP

|-----SubGroup

|------NODE 1

|------NODE 2

Right now I can only get an alert with the node in it if I alert on the subgroup vs the MAINGROUP.  The MAINGROUP will alert correctly naming the subgroup but the node portion is blank.

Have you tried alerting on group member status, rather than group status?  You would also need to specify the sub groups in the alert.

I just wanted to know if anyone found an answer to this. I know it's an older post, but we're looking to do the same thing.

How do you have the group status set? The subgroup status should inherit the worst member status.
