Is it possible to make a group dependent on sensor which belongs to device witch is member of that group?

I have organized remote locations in it's own groups. I wish to pause monitoring on all other devices in the group if the router through which that location/group is reachable is down. Router belongs to the same group as other devices specific for that location.

You could create a second instance of the 'router sensor' and place it outside the group. IE create a group 'routers' and place the second instance there.

Next you can use a HTTP notification, invoking the PRTG API, to pause/resume the original group or use PTF.PRObject as a custom EXE notification to do so.

Hello,

Thank you very much for using PRTG. You can do this with cascading groups. Just create a sub-group with all devices "behind the router", and make this group to be dependent on the Ping-Sensor of the router.

best regards.
