I originally thought of this myself. However it would mean the correct set of devices must be down. It would work well if I wanted an alert if all the PCs go down, (and this may be what I'll end up doing). I was hoping to be able to get an alert if ANY 4 out of the 7 PCs are down. If I use dependencies then I would have to make a map with ever possible combo of 4 out of 7 PCs going down.

I haven't actually tried this, but can't see why it shouldn't work.... Set up "down" dependencies, so device #2 is only polled when device #1 is down etc. Then make a number of devices dependant on others, in a separate map so your current alerts are not messed up. That way you should be able to get alerts from device #3 (for example) only if #1 & #2 are already down as well. There is no way I know of actually grouping devices to only alarm if a given number are down. I asked a similar question about getting an alert only when a threshold of machines are below a certain SNMP threshold, but had no luck. (This was around WUG 5 time, so things may have changed).

Sorry about the last post. I maps of my branches. These maps include all of the PCs. I have alerts setup for all of the network gear. What I'm looking for is a way to alert if three or more of the PCs are down. I don't want an alert for each PC. Staff reboot computers and other things happen. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thank you for any help.
