I am using NPM 9.5 SP3
I have two alerts set up that are basically identical. One is Basic and the other is Advanced. They are set to trigger if the node name is 'whatever' and the CPU utilization is greater than 80% for 0 seconds.
My statistics gathering interval is 1 minute for each alert.
I run a CPU test program for 5 minutes to max out the CPU utilization at 100%. The basic alert will trigger on a regular interval and the advanced alert never triggers. Sometimes when the Basic alert triggers it says that the CPU utilization is now 0%. Why would it trigger if the utilization was really 0% (or is it reporting the wrong utilization number when it is really higher?)
As a side note, I have another alert that is triggered when any node has a CPU utilization > 80% for 15 minutes. My CPU test only runs for 5 minutes at a time. I recently had that alert trigger saying that the node I was testing was > 80% for 15 minutes and it never was.
Am I doing something wrong or are the alerts just buggy?
Thanks.
