Advanced alerts using only the ALL or ANY logical descriptors

pgnanapr

Hello I have the following nested triggers

Trigger Alert when all the following apply

     Node is equal to down

     Trigger Alert when not all the following apply

          Wireless is equal yes

          Name contains ctx0

          Name contains Houston

          Name contains Dallas

     Trigger alert when any of the following apply

          Name contains USA

          Name contains Canada

How does one write not all trigger statement using only ANY and ALL logical descriptors.

Regards,

A lot of this depends on what you want to "not all" on. For instance, if you want wireless + site name, you could always do:

Trigger alert when all of the following apply:

     Node is equal to down

     Wireless is equal to yes

     Trigger alert when any of the following apply:

          Name contains ctx0

          Name contains Houston

          Name contains Dallas

     Trigger alert when any of the following apply:

          Name contains USA

          Name contains Canada

You could nest within an "any" condition group separate "All" condition groups that state the combinations you want to alert on. This kind of sounds confusing, but here's an example:

Trigger alert when all of the following apply:

     Node is equal to down

     Trigger alert when any of the following apply:

          Trigger alert when all of the following apply:

               Wireless is equal to yes

               Name contains ctx0

          Trigger alert when all of the following apply:

               Wireless is equal to yes

               Name contains Houston

          Trigger alert when all of the following apply:

               Name contains ctx0

          Trigger alert when all of the following apply:

               Name contains Dallas

(...............etc...................lots of other combinations.................)

     Trigger alert when any of the following apply:

          Name contains USA

          Name contains Canada

Hopefully this makes sense. Clearly the first option (if it applies to your situation) will take substantially less configuration, but if you really want to use anything other than the "not all" statement, this is what your options start to look like.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!
