Hi solarwinds community,
I'm new to the network monitor and I need some help with alerts and dependencies. I have the following dependencies set up:
The Network Monitor is installed on a server connected to 10.0.0.199
10.0.0.199 is the parent to 10.0.1.51
10.0.1.51 is the parent to 10.0.1.52 and 10.0.1.30
10.0.1.30 is the parent to 10.0.1.31 and 10.0.1.32 which are in a group
10.0.0.121 and 10.0.0.124 are not monitored.
As I understand it, when node 10.0.1.51 goes down, I should get an alert telling me that it is down and 10.0.1.30, 10.0.1.52, and the group with 10.0.1.31 and 10.0.1.32 should be marked as unreachable and I should not get an alert for them, but I do. The only alert trigger in my Node is down alert is node status is = down. In the event log I will see 10.0.1.52, 10.0.1.30, 10.0.1.31, and 10.0.1.32 all go down and alert as down.
