Alert when an agent comes back online
When a device goes offline I can set a notification while I can't receive anything when it comes back online.
This would be very useful on servers.

I agree. There are so many times when I'd like to work on a particular endpoint and I'll ask the end user to turn it on - but I then need to have the end user send me an email or something to let me know the endpoint is ready for me. This is cumbersome and shouldn't be the case with an RMM platform. I should be able to go to a device and create an alert the next time that device's availability changes from offline/unavailable to online.

Another use case is for metered instances like EC2. We want to detect and monitor their usage and have an alert fire if they are powered on for longer than a normal period of time so we don't have unexpected costs.

To expand on this, we would like it to notify us when a monitored device comes back online after its gone offline. for example, we are notified when a monitored device (eg server) goes offline but never informed when it comes back online, we have to manually check. We would like a quick notification email to be triggered when online again on a monitored device

Ok I am aware we can get alerts when a device is off line. I however have a number of remote users and they can be offline for days/weeks. I want to get a alert when the device is online so as I can run some background custom once off scripts. Please consider this as I would also use it for retired devices that SHOULD not be on the network prior to recycling which has happened.
Thanks again.
