I've been reading about creating alerts and libraries, and I have not found a way to make a notification template that will do the following:

I want to make a notification template that will send notifications when ALL ping sensors (this means my DC, a core switch, an AP, ANYTHING THAT HAS THE PING SENSOR attached to it).

I do not want to sit and manually move a single sensor icon from a list of every device in the tree to another to the left side where it then just puts "node" and "ping" without showing which device I moved over.

I just want to say "If ANY PING goes down, send an email"

Is there a way to do this without having to go through and create a library?

There are three ways to do this, the first one is by doing every ping sensor manually, the second one is by inheritance but this option will require to set the notification trigger on the Parent device or group level and then making sure inheritance is configured correctly on the ping sensor and the third option is to create a Library and move all Ping sensors to this Library to set the notification for all devices included.

Unfortunately at this moment there is no option to bulk notifications by sensor type.
