# Device Dependencies
|
|
|
|
It is possible to set one or more parents for a device. The aim for
|
|
that is, if all parent devices are down, alert contacts will not
|
|
receive redundant alerts for dependent devices. This is very useful
|
|
when you have an outage, say in a branch office, where normally you'd
|
|
receive hundreds of alerts, but when this is properly configured,
|
|
you'd only receive an alert for the parent hosts.
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to configure this feature. First one is from
|
|
general settings of a device. The other two can be done in the 'Device
|
|
Dependencies' item under 'Devices' menu. In this page, you can see all
|
|
devices and with its parents. Clicking on the 'bin' icon will clear
|
|
the dependency setting. Clicking on the 'pen' icon will let you edit
|
|
or change the current setting for chosen device. There's also a
|
|
'Manage Device Dependencies' button on the top. This will let you set
|
|
parents for multiple devices at once.
