Alert trigger after multiple alerts for instance triggers

We are using multi ping to ping two or more different IPs as a way to verify that a VPN tunnel is up and running. What we need is a way to trigger an alert only if all multi ping instances for a given VPN have triggered an alert. The Ping (Multi) we have setup has multiple IP targets for a number of different VPNs so the process needs to let us choose which of the instances to check in the alert cluster before triggering the alert.

We would also like an alert to trigger if the multi ping instance has an alert and the IPSec (CISCO ASA) Tunnel shows an alert for the same subnet.

Another way would be if the devices that the multi ping on our end fails, but the collector at the location where the actual target devices are show the devices in good health for the pings then trigger an alert.

    We would also like to make sure the instance that is being used in the cluster alert does not show any alerts in the alert section. If it does show the alerts from the devices and the cluster then it defeats the whole point of us using the cluster alert. We are trying to make it less confusing for our NOC.
