Hi Dmitry, thank you for your great work. I've learned a lot from your tutorials.

Maybe you can prepare some comprehensive tutorial - how to not being flooded by Zabbix notifications and find real source of problem easily?
I've tuned Zabbix a little bit to be less nervous (alert after 3-5 fails instead of 1, similar for tcp checks, like http) but still, where something fails, like router or switch behind there are monitored hosts, I'm flooded with a lot of notifications, like service unavailable, then agent and host unavailable. I do not expect to have only one notification for such situation, but, for example only few "host unavailable by icmp and agent" will be enough to know that something is wrong.
Is there any (easy) way to do it? Or I have to create a lot of triggers and dependent checks?
Now I'm on Zabbix 5.4 (still new, at it was installed to have SMART monitoring done easily).
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated.
