Hi
Is it possible to have a Custom property (Date) to triger alert at its time to service?
/SJA
Yes; create your Custom Property as a Date/Time; and you should be able to do this either with SQL or a Normal Advanced Alert(Node or Interface alert), Advanced Alert you may be left to = , < , >
SQL would allow you to compare values, and do more calculations if you want a certain time frame before triggering the alert.
I Use this specifically to suppress Alerts for nodes within a Maintenance Window (with Start and End Date/Time's) so as long as the current time is not later than start and earlier than the finish the alert fires.
Tanks for getting back to me.
Du have any examples of the SQL Alert type?
When I try to use Node Alert
Custom Property preventive_service "28-11-2013 11:00:00"
I get alarm from all the nodes I set the preventive_service and not the time of the service.
What I use is for alert suppression, I have two custom properties setup as Date/Time, Maintenance_Start_Time & Maintenance_End_Time
WHERE
(
(Nodes.Vendor = 'Cisco') AND
(Nodes.Region <> 'Data Center') AND
(Nodes.Status = '2') AND
(Nodes.Community = '***************') OR
(Nodes.Community = '***************')
)
AND
OR
(Nodes.Maintenance_Start_Time IS NULL) AND
(Nodes.Maintenance_End_Time IS NULL)
But Set yours up with one Date Time Property and have that = the Get Date. In this script the Custom Property is 'Maintenance_Time'
(Nodes.Maintenance_Time = getdate())
Let me know if you have better success with that.
