You can: 2. **Alert Down** - Alerts when a device goes down. This setting overrides a disabled **Alert Events** setting, so you will get a notification of a device going down even if you don't have **Alert Events** ticked. Disabling this will disable down and down reconnected notifications on the device. 3. **Can Sleep** - Marks the device as sleep-capable (e.g. a battery-powered sensor that deep-sleeps between readings). When enabled, offline periods within the **Alert down after (sleep)** (`NTFPRCS_sleep_time`) global window are shown as **Sleeping** (aqua badge 🌙) instead of **Down**, and no down alert is fired during that window. Once the window expires the device falls back to normal down-alert logic. ⚠ Requires **Alert Down** to be enabled — sleeping suppresses the alert during the window only. 4. **Skip repeated notifications**, if for example you know there is a temporary issue and want to pause the same notification for this device for a given time. -5. **Require NICs Online** - Indicates whether this device should be considered online only if all associated NICs (child devices with the `nic` relationship type) are online. When disabled, a single online NIC is sufficient to mark the parent device as online, regardless of the parent's own detected status. The nic relationship type is configured on the child (NIC) device. +5. **Require NICs Online** - Determines whether this device is considered online only when **all associated NICs** are online. To configure this, navigate to the child devices, assign the `nic` relationship, and set this device as the **Parent node**. If enabled, every associated NIC must be online for the device to be considered online. If disabled, the device is considered online when **any NIC** is online.
