If I have 1000 hosts in each of 4 Datacenters, North, South, East, and West, I do not want to have 1000 events if I lose connectivity to the North Datacenter, I just want the 1.
When I to edit template ping-north-hosts (contains 1000 hosts) and add a dependency to host dc-north-reachable ICMP trigger I get the following message:
Error adding dependencies. Following dependencies are not allowed: 1) from a host trigger to a template trigger; 2) from a template trigger to a host trigger; 3) between template triggers, where templates have links to other templates
I understand the above statement says I cannot create a template trigger from a host trigger, but why not? The whole purpose of templates is to standardize configurations and ease implementation.
I am able to create a trigger dependency for each host individually to host dc-north-reachable trigger however this becomes a lot of work.
Am I missing something or is this really the way it is?
We can't we submit this functionality via template?
