Hi,
Would it be possible to add a feature whereby monitoring of certain host/device parameters is conditioned on one of its monitored statuses? Basically, make the status of one of the monitoring actions of a host/device a dependency and hibernate all the other actions until the singular dependency is "triggered."
To help explain this request, consider the following real-life scenario:
We perform SNMP polling of devices in the field, as trap reception can be unreliable (LTE connections) and some devices spam their traps (undesirable).
Almost all of the devices have a summary alarm SNMP object. The value of this object is set, when an alarm is present, and cleared, when no alarm condition remains.
If it were possible to poll only the summary alarm SNMP object and have its status be a trigger for polling other objects of interest, we could dramatically reduce both server load and network traffic.
Such a feature would need to have a configurable "on recovery expiry time", to support allowing sufficient time for the dependent monitoring actions to capture service states before being hibernated.
Thanks
