I haven't seen this specifically posted yet so I thought I'd ask. We're converting from Nagios to Solarwinds NPM and have server side (service type monitoring and such) as well as network device monitoring scripts from Nagios that we'd like to convert or import into NPM rather than recreating all of our alerts and notifications etc. For example, I have a remote device monitoring script using ICMP from Nagios configured (below) that sends an SMS warning notification if a remote device' RTA is over 400ms and sends a critical SMS notification if the device' RTA is over 600ms. The device is polled/PING'd every 5 minutes, retries every 2 minutes, and performs a max check 4 times:
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name remote_site
service_description PING
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 4
retry_check_interval 2
contact_groups remote_site-admins
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,c,r
check_command check_ping!400.0,20%!600.0,40%
}
If this could be imported into NPM, it would be a great relief. If not, does anyone know the best way to create similar alerts in NPM or the easiest way to re-create these alerts/notifications in NMP?
Hopefully my terminology and thought process on this subject is in the right direction; please correct me if not. Thanks in advance!
