Advanced alert. Two nodes, that contains the same text.

vmukhar

Hello. I have 20 Linux workstations, 20 WinXP workstations in 20 differrent locations. Linux nodes are called like Linux.[identifier]. WinXP workstations are called like WinXP.[identifier].In every location identifiers of Linux and Windows workstations are the same.Is there a way to create advanced alert, that will trigger each time, than Linux workstation and Windows workstation in the same location have down status? It must be something like: If identificator of Node1 and Node2 is the same, than trigger alert...  Thanks.

PS. NPM version is 10.

Off the top of my head, the only way I can see to do this with would be create an alert for each location. Then each alert might look something like the following:

 

This alert will trigger when Linux.[identifier] is down but is suppressed when Windows.[identifier] is not down. In other words, it should only trigger when both Linux.[identifier] and Windows.[identifier] are down.

I haven't tested this myself but it seems like it would work. I hope that makes sense and helps.
