<br>
I have a collection of pages and subpages that compose a system.<br>
There are several systems in my xymon hosts file.<br>
Each system looks at a set of machines, VMs and http targets.<br>
And each system is listed on an 'Environments' page, which only has links (and icons) to the subpages for the systems <br>
(i.e. no URL or http info is connected to that Environments page) <br>
<br>
Periodically, each system is brought down for maintenance.<br>
But when that happens, I get swamped with alerts about every component of that system.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of a way to get one, high-level alert, say from the subpages under my ovmEnvironments page<br>
instead of 100+ alerts from my monitored elements ?<br>
<br>
I have not seen any discussions like this in the archives, but I could have missed them.<br>
<br>
<br>
thanks Greg<br>
