On SAM - how to create an alert on specific vm.

I'm new to SAM, I'm able to setup a general alert that catches all servers in SAM but can't seem to set one up for one specific server.

Thank you

Leon

This is what one of mine looks like when I limit to a single system.

This is what a similar alert would look using the web based alert manager for a simple node down alert specifying a single node. It's should be as simple as adding additional logic to the trigger condition of the alert.

You can also get away with limiting the scope of the alert to specific objects as well...

If you plan on adding more nodes to the specific alert, just change the condition at the top to an "OR" and add more nodes. If you start to get a little crazy on the nodes in this list, I'd start thinking about other ways to separate/include the nodes, such as custom properties (see my answer to Routing Alerts), then you don't have to modify the alerts for additions, you just change the node properties.

(The nerd in me wonders if there is a SQL performance improvement in one of the other).
