Dependencies don't always seem to suppress alerts. For example, we have servers with 20+ SNMP-based monitors and we have PING and SNMP as the dependencies. If the server goes down we get down alerts for all monitors that are due to be polled before the dependencies are next polled, and when the server comes back up we get up alerts for all those same monitors.
Perhaps what's needed is for ipMonitor to reevalute the dependencies in realtime when a monitor goes down and before sending an alert. This would be a bit more overhead but would prevent a lot of unnecessary alerts.
Is this possible within the current version or being considered for a future version?
