If you create it as a service check there is an option to invert plugin 
results, I've never tried to use it but it sounds like what you are looking to 
do..

Subject: [opsview-users] How to monitor a "normally down" system

OpsView 3.5.2

I have a site with dual WAN.  OpsView shows the primary link "OK" and
the backup link "DOWN".  This is expected.  The backup stays down
until the primary fails.

What is the best way to configure this?  Seeing the "Unhandled - DOWN"
every time I look at OpsView is a distraction.

I can't use scheduled downtime, because I need a notification when the
primary fails and also a notification that the backup has successfully
come online.

If this situation has been documented somewhere, please point me in
the right direction.  I searched but was not able to find it.

Thanks!
