How to determine monitors not within an Alert

I have created several Alerts each containing different monitors. Reason being is each alert is setup for a different email recipient with monitors only they want to be alerted on. What I need to know is if I'm looking at Alert 1, how can I determine what monitors are not added?

Open the Alert in question and look down at the section called "Groups and Monitors to Alert for" Look for your Monitor in that list, if the monitor appears in that list, then it is tied to that alert. Additionally, a Monitor part of a Device or a Group which appears in that list, then any of those monitors will also trigger that specific alert. If you see a device or a group listed you can quickly check to see what monitors belong to it by clicking on it and drilling down inside to see what is included.

I hope this helps.

This won't work as I do not add by groups or devices, I add by monitors.

I need a way to determine if any of my 800 monitors are not in an alert. I really don't want to check one by one.

If you are wanting to tie every monitor that you have to this single alert, the easist way to do this is to start by removing all of the monitors that are currently listed under that alert. Next, with no monitors listed there, click on "add monitors". When the window opens to allow you to select the monitors you want, first make sure that you remove any of the "filters" for this view it should say "Filter: No Filter". Next, in the the upper right-hand corner where you see the # of monitors displayed per page (default is "25") Click the drop-down arrow and choose to show all monitors on one page. After you have done these thing, Put a check-mark in the very top check-box which will select every monitor. Finally click on Continue at the bottom right corner of the page. These steps will add every monitor to this single alert.

These are the steps I did when I originally configured my Alert. However that was a few months ago and with other admins working with ipMonitor, I want to make sure that all monitors that have been configured since then were added to the alert as well. Someone could have skipped the step of adding a monitor to the alert, how can I check?

I can't just delete all the alerts again and re-add because I have moved a few to other alerts.
