Alerts Menu - Auto Select Filter (plus extra credit).

When my help desk wants to add notes to a specific “Down Node” Alert (which they have to do a lot) they login and click “Alerts” from the Main Menu:

From there they have to go to FILTER ALERTS and select "Notify me when a node goes down" from the drop down and refresh.

Ultimately it gives them only the down nodes:

Finally from this screen they can add notes to a specific down event:

My question is there a URL that automatically selects and applies the Filter "Notify me when a node goes down"?  If there is I can modify the menu bar with that custom URL and save some steps.  I know it doesnt seem like a big deal but this will save a lot of time and simplify things a bit for my users (plus on mobile devices it will be a big time saver if they can have a direct link to Alerts that are filtered by "Notify me when a node goes down").

 

Extra Credit (worth a generous Amazon Gift Card):  I send out emails/texts of down devices.  Can I insert a direct link into that email/text for that specific down event Alert's notes page?  Similar to what I'm doing above?

 

As always; thanks!!!!!!!!
