We have numerous systems in our web farm and I have added each server to the application monitor. Each server has the same stuff checked (around 10 things) from particular running services to does a particular file exist in a specific location.
During the morning hours 1 AM - 6 AM each server resets a couple services and updates a particular file. These are scheduled on each server and each server does it at it's own time of day. Is there a way when writing the alert trigger to state if the nodename is node1 and timeofday is not 1 AM - 1:30 AM then this trigger can throw the alert.
I do not want to create an alert for each particular server to just utilize the time feature tab.
The reason is, we have numerous farms we need to keep track of and instead of having 10 alerts per farm (each farm monitoring the same exact thing for its assigned resources) doing the same thing (and risk forgetting to update one of the alerts if they need to change) we could have 200+ alerts.
Any help appreciated.
