I'm using the Customer Fortigate Health sensor and I would like to be able to monitor the state of a VPN but no alert if it goes down. The reason being is that these are often backup or resilient VPNs are aren't always up. It isn't really a problem if they go down in many cases.
If there a way to keep monitoring the state and traffic over the VPN but disable the notification/alerts. I don't want to disable notifications for the whole device.

Dear nocDan,
alerting in the sense of the sensor turning red cannot be disabled. But you can disable the notifications. Please open the notifications tab and disable the inheritance from the parent objects.
