i was interested in using FINGSCAN to trigger and alert me when any one of a group of "critical infrastructure" devices goes off the network for any reason (smoke detectors, etc.).
an event seems to be a way baked into FINGSCAN plugin to create a group of devices and track their aggregate states, as i understand it. sounds like it might give me what i want.
i tried setting up an event, and then printed the event state to my logs and i see:
- Code: Select all
fingscan command: Print EVENTS and configuration
fingscan EVENT:------------- 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------

so... i have a group of devices. all of these devices are "home" , assuming i understand what that means. they all have status of "up".
i don't understand how "All Devices Home" is 1 and simultaneously "AtLeast ONE Device Home" is 0.
am i misunderstanding something about what "home" vs. "away" means?
