Dependencies or Parent/Child Relationships
Allow devices to be dependent on one another. If a router goes down, the switch behind it will most likely go down or have an error as well.

This is great! I'm testing this now in our environment.
One thing that would be useful for us is allowing us to suppress alerts when DNS resolution is failing to a particular device. For example, we have a tunnel between two locations, and several monitors on the other side of the DNS server. If DNS resolution breaks, all monitors using hostnames are going to break. It would be nice to only be alerted once for the DNS problem, not the individual devices that are having DNS problems.
Edit: Oh shoot i just noticed this doesn't support services currently. That is mostly what we'd use this for. Our use-case is that we have a large number of URL monitors that are monitoring from the location of users, to systems running the cloud. When we have a DNS problem, we get hundreds of alerts all at once for the same issue, which is obviously not ideal. We would definitely need this to support service monitors.
