For the most part I agree that a down link should be an alarm and not a critical problem, but it would be nice to have the ability to choose that a link be critical. For example, we have some redundant links which will never bring down a device if one of the links goes down since there is a backup path, but we have gone for hours before noticing that the redundant link is down.
I suppose we could make that particular router send an alert for any 'alarm' status but do not really want to be paged if there are discards on an interface or if traffic exceeds 50% (etc.), which will also produce an 'alarm' status. We have created custom probes for the devices which we need critical alerts for only a particular interface(s).
