Tick network path and clear downtime

Tick network path and clear downtime. The label names a new external IP and a WAN failover. A degraded wireless link is this same kind. Accounts server's disk at 92% is a disk alert, so it would not. The key box stays empty, so every path change matches, on every machine. A path change is a warning, and the floor is warn and above, so it matches. Press save when this is the one you want.
