Hello,
this seems like a really trivial question, but I cannot figure out how to do it.
I am trying to configure an alert that sends an e-mail to me whenever a host or a service is down. I understand the principles of alerts and already configured some alerts successfully, which did send e-mails. But I cannot find the option on the Alert Definition page that says "whenever host is unreachable" or similar. I found the "Availability" metric, but this is not exactly what I'm looking for, because it does not alway fire (availability may not change instantly, when the host goes down).
Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.
