Notifications only for the master Sensor

Modified on 2025-06-10 11:38:21 +0200

Is it possible to only have notifications (email etc) if the master sensor goes down.

I have a number of other snmp/ssh gathering sensors that i dont want to be alerted out of hours if they go down..

Hello,

if the master sensor on a device goes down, all other sensors are paused and then should not send out notifications for this outage. But if the other sensors go down individually they will of course send out a notification if they inherit triggers or have triggers set. It's recommended to set the master sensor to a faster scanning interval than the other sensors (30s - 60s, for example) to avoid timing issues.

best regards.
