Combine multiple alerts to a single e-mail

I currently have disk space monitoring setup through the Orion dashboard that scans every hour and sends a report for the servers that are low on disk space. If multiple servers trigger from this monitor it sends an e-mail for each server. Is there a way to combine the multiple alerts to a single e-mail sent to a distro?

It sounds like it would be easiest to just make an hourly scheduled report and send that.

There isn't a native away to send all alerts in an aggregate email, and alerting on group objects won't really work because a group is a distinct object on its own. (you cannot alert when a group has low disk space, because a group object does not inherently have disk space)

You would undoubtedly get 24 emails a day to the distribution list, but it would be an aggregate of low disk space volumes in a single email per hour. If there are no disks in threshold, the email would still be sent, just empty.

FWIW, I would probably look more at doing an email like this no more than once a day, but that's jsut an opinion and you need to make the product work for you, not vice versa.

How about creating a group to include nodes or volumes that fit the criteria and alert on the group also listing sll the members.

Use a workaround for it, create a custom sql report that will pull all alerts from the db (provide specific conditions as required) and link this up to a webpage (using views create a view which will display this Alert report on your Solarwinds GUI), create a report schedule to send a pdf of this web page to you on an hourly basis.
