Generate a single incident that represents a "consolidated interface status" for an equipment on NNMi

I am looking for a mechanism to generate only 1 incident each time when different interfaces go Down or Up on an equipment.

Each time an interface goes down, I wish that NNM checks the status of all interfaces and generates an incident on the node with the message "Some Interfaces are down on node NODE1: Ethernet1/11, Ethernet 2/2/1, Ethernet 3/3".

When interfaces come up (lets say Ether1/11 and Ethernet 2/2/1 come up ), I need NNM to recalculate the status of all the interfaces again and generate a consolidated alarm. "Some interfaces are down on node NODE1: Ethernet 3/3".

Only when all the polled interfaces are up, should I get a incident with status  "NORMAL" , mentioning "ALL Interfaces are up on node NODE1".

Is there any ways to achieve this kind of behaviour ? Has anyone tried this ?

Thanks

    I think if you have a selective nodegroup and selective interfaces that would mininmize the load. Then only on those interfaces in the group you can setup an action to poll related interfaces and generate if needed a new event with your desired format/content.

    If your instance holds a small inventory then you can setup on general setup otherwise setting up this type of custom. on selective items would be better.
