Alerts for node down

johnlad

I just want to make sure I have this right and was hoping for some clarification as to why I was still getting a netbotz triggering a down alert notification.  We basically have node alerts set up for a custom node group Network Team.  This notification has worked fine, but we wanted to eliminate generated alerts on Netbotz devices.  So I added Node Vendor is not equal to APC Netbotz, yet for testing purposes I would down one of the netbotz devices and an alert is still being generated.  Below is the current configuration, I was thinking it had something to do with the "and" statement.  Any suggestions would be helpful.

You're doing this right now:

(Node_Group = 'Network Team' ORNode_Group = 'Network Team' ORNode_Group = 'Network Team' OR(Vendor <> 'APC NetBotz'))ANDStatus = Down

What you want is this:

(Node_Group = 'Network Team' ANDVendor <> 'APC NetBotz')AND Status = Down

Simplify your scope and switch that first OR to an AND and you should be OK.
