and your downtime rule is set as three locations, by default. Based on the threshold configuration, alerts will be triggered only when all the three monitoring locations report an outage; not when anyone of these three locations (including the primary location) report an UP status.
However, if you still wish to get alerted even when a single monitoring location reports an outage, you must then change the
