The threshold plugin can do this for you, if you have the plugin architecture installed.

I do use thold for threshold monitoring. However, I dont know how to set it for a device which is down. Can you help?

Sure. Go to Settings..Alerting/THold, and enable Dead Hosts Notification. Fill in an e-mail address in the box provided.

Duplicate (and moving to Thold).

if enabling dead host notification is checked, would the error also write to the syslog as well as emailing? I would rather have it write to the syslog
