Hoping someone has had experience with this, im trying to limit the amount of alerts we get based on location for example (as right now it can be a bit overwhelming).
the idea is that a building has 5 switches, one is the “main” switch, where the outside connection comes in and it feeds the other 4 switches, each on a different floor.
So main floor switch, floor 1 switch, floor 2 switch, floor 3 switch, floor 4 switch.
I would like to create rules, so that if an individual floor goes down, we get that alarm, (ie Alert - Floor 4 is down) but if a main switch goes down (taking the whole building with it), I dont get 5 alerts saying main floor down, floor 1 down, floor 2 down, etc. I want to limit it to say “Alert - The whole building appears down” so we know there is a problem but dont get flooded (as right now people ignore/miss alarms as they can get flooded).
Does librenms have a way for me to apply this logic to the alert rules? Do i need to use a external system to do this? Thanks for any ideas or help on this
