I'm working with SolarWinds Orion and have been tasked with reconfiguring the alerting. The challenge is to minimize alerts on devices which are "down line" from a failure.
Suppose we have devices like this:
Orion-----A---------B-----
If we're monitoring all devices, and B fails, then I DON'T want to be alerted that C, D, and E are unreachable, because, B is down, so they're obviously unreachable from Orion.
How can I configure Orion to alert only on B, and not also on C D and E - while minimizing configuration.

Hi,
I think this is only possible if you have a redundant link from CDE to Orion but if you have a single link which is necessarily passing through B and it is the single point of failure then it is not possible. You can also recheck it with Orion people;
