More Options for Consolidating Alert Notifications
Striking the right balance of alert notifications enables you to be proactive and still not being overwhelmed with too many notifications. When creating an alert that evaluates any interface on a device, you can now decide whether you want to receive a notification for every interface that meets the trigger conditions or group them into a single notification.
Simplified UX for Combined Device and Interface Alerts
We’ve simplified the user experience for advanced alerts (combined device and interface alerts) to make it easier to create and understand the alert being created. Only a single device and interface condition block is now available. You can still use the condition groups within each block to create an alert to notify you of the desired condition.

We’ve added a new batch of default alerts to alerting 2.0, so that customers can start getting value from Auvik faster. Default alerts were added for UPS, printers, uptime, SSL VPN connections, and cloud ping checks
