Disable Down (Partial) status

Votes:

0

We are looking for a way to disable the "Down (Partial)" status. It's causing false-positives and confusion for users, so our users start to ignore the status.

A sensor should go to "Down" when the master node says is down, regardless of the fail-over node saying it's "Up".

Is it possible to disable "Down (Partial)"?

Hi Sven,

It's not possible to disable the down partial state. Either resolve the issue, remove the sensor from the cluster node, or switch to a non-clustered environment :)

Kind regards

Is there another setup possible, to have fail-over without both nodes monitoring? So if only if the master fails, the second node takes over?

Or is there a way to let "Down (Partial)" sensors appear as green in a map instead of red?

I'm afraid I already know the answer :), but are there any plans to implement more (supported) customization in future versions of PRTG?

A lot of people seem to ask for such features, but the alternatives I found seem to unsupported and deprecated: https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/77998-customizing-the-prtg-web-interface-sunburst-gauges-sensors

The "styles_custom_v2.css"-file also mentions it won't be supported anymore in the future. Can you tell if this will be in the near future or if this is still a long time away?

In fact, we're actually want to step down from helping with customizations as it is really time intensive to support and makes keeping track of changes even harder:

  1. Is this from us or did the customer change this?
  2. Is this actually causing the problem?).
    It won't be removed in the near future, but even if it is - it's rather easy to reimplement by adding @import url("base.css"); ...to the base CSS and add your modifications accordingly.

Kind regards,
