I see your point, Danica. I think Hildegarde's answer makes more sense in this scenario. We should suppress alerts when the Interface Status is down.

But if the router is down, wouldn't we want to suppress alerts when the Interface Status is down as well?

Option C all the way. Monitoring the interface status is the most logical approach here. Plus, it's just more efficient than checking the node status, which could be misleading.

Definitely, option C is the way to go. It's important to suppress alerts based on the interface status to avoid unnecessary notifications.

Yeah, focusing on the interface status of the router is key. It's more accurate than just looking at the node status.

Haha, I almost went with option D. Like, 'Hey, let's just ignore the device if it's completely offline!' Nice try, SolarWinds, but I'm not falling for that one.

I think option A is the way to go. It only suppresses the alert when the Interface Status is 'Warning'.

I agree with Lashonda. Option C is the way to go. Monitoring the interface status instead of the node status is a more accurate way to detect the router being down.

Option C is the correct answer. Suppressing alerts when the router's interface is down makes the most sense, as that's the key condition we want to monitor.
