I have over 1500+ devices with multiple sensors.

How do i make sure that all of the ping sensors are the master sensors for the devices without having to edit each sensor individually.

Thanks, Gurpal

Hello, thank you very much for your KB-Post. Setting dependencies via the Multi-Edit is not possible, this is correct. It's actually intended, to avoid the creation of dependency loops, with never awaking devices & sensors (which can easily happen by accident). So this has to be manually set on the devices. Sorry.

best regards.

Can this be done via the database directly? There's no way I'm going to do this manually...

It should not be attempted to edit this in the configuration file manually. The risk of dependency loops is immensely high then, and thus we won't give steps on this.
