This is interesting (changing "Value When Red" to 7 in order to get alarms). I 
thought that this value (7, 1, or 3) is used only to calculate the container 
rollup value and it doesn't have an impact on alarms.
        Just a couple days ago I've been bothered because some devices on our 
network are modelled, I'm interested in receiving all alarms from them but I 
want to see only the criticals displayed. Still, major alarms and minor alarms 
on these devices had an impact on container roll-up value.
Way too many containers displayed these roll-up triangles so I went to these 
devices and set up the value for "Value When Orange" and "Value When Yellow" to 
0; result, all roll-ups disappeared.
        According to the solution presented in this email (my opinion though) I 
shouldn't receive any minor or major alarms once I set up the corresponding 
attribute to 0 but, that's not the case - I have checked and I continue to have 
all these alarms and to have new ones generated since then.
What can be the explanation then?

My way to deal with pingables was to set up a watch on them and the watch 
triggers an alarm once it is violated.

Regards,
Eugen NAIMAN

Thanks again for the help jos...@ca and cl...@monsanto that did the trick.
