Stop sensors changing state

Votes:

0

I was looking for a way of stopping sensors reporting downtime. Currently i've several sensors on each radio that i'm monitoring all of which report down separately and therefore we get separate alarms/emails which clogs up the system.

I know I can change the dependencies for each one to the ping sensor and then only get reports from the ping sensor but changing several sensors on several hundred radios is a major workload. Is there a quicker way?

Hello,

the point on these is always to only "touch" the ping sensor and make it "master object for parent", this way it will pause all other sensors on the same device once the ping itself fails.

best regards.
