Dependencies or Parent/Child Relationships

Please include "Grouping" too :)/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20"> We just got flooded with a bunch of pages last night because a server went down which caused instances from several datasources to go down.. OUCH! It would be great to group instances so that if one goes down.. that group pages and says hey something is wrong with this server.. then we can log in and go check.. rather than getting flooded by everything.

Same idea with grouping of servers... I could call a group "HKG POP"... a server goes down that I have put in that group.. or any instance alerts a critical.. just that one group pages and says hey a critcal event has happened in the HKG POP.... and if other servers go down... it's not going to page again if it already has and hasn't been resolved. ( I can see a few gotchas in there.. but with enough configuration choices.. the company can decide how they want to handle situations )
