Change Node Reboot Canned Alert

Currently the canned Node Reboot alert uses the status of the SNMP service, which is causing us problems with false positive where the service is stopping and starting and we get an alert saying a node reboot has occurred when its just an issue with the SNMP service.

Could it be changed to look at something else to get a reboot alert?

I think this is a polling issue rather than an alerting issue. The last reboot OID is the SNMP agent restart OID rather than the node last boot OID. I can't find it but there was a looooong thread on this a couple of years ago in the NPM forum before there was an FER forum. Maybe PM can expand on this? I know that there was a reason that it was not changed but I don't remember the reason.

To Disable EventType 14 (Node Rebooted) events run the following SQL Query:

UPDATE EventTypes SET Record=0 WHERE EventType = 14

I tested this and the above query does indeed stop the pesky alerts which are confusing my end users because it says the node rebooted but the node did not reboot, it was just that the SNMP Agent was cycled.
