CPU alert for group member?

I have a specific group of servers I want to setup a CPU load alert in the Advanced Alert Manager. I've attempted to set it up as displayed in the attached screen shot however when I click OK I get an SWAlertEngine error, "Please specify a complete Trigger Condition. Field not specified or invalid." If I change it to notify for Node instead of Group Member it changes the alert around to IOS Family Name instead of Group Name and doesn't work.

I've done some searching through the forums but have not been able to find an answer to my question. Is this something that isn't possible?_

In order to create the alert pictured in your screenshot you would've had to change the property type from "Group" to "Node". Mixing property types within a single alert is not supported in the Advanced Alert and will not work. To accomplish what you're trying to do I would recommend using Custom Properties instead of groups.

You're correct, it's unfortunate the "advanced" alert editor can't create such alerts. I've created the alert using a custom property and it is now alerting on the group of servers I need it to.

Thank you!
