Advanced Alert trigger on value in Node Custom Property?

Question

We are using SQL stored procedures to post outbound bandwidth utlizations into node custom properties.

Is it possible to use an advance alert to monitor one of these fields and if the vlaue exceeds a certain value then trigger an alert?

All, I got this working.

I had to create a new Custom Property and put the calculated value in that field as well. I was then able to use APM 2 ODBC User experience to grab the value. I then created an alert to trip if it went over 70.

Thanks to Soalrwinds for developing applications and alerting capabilties that can be manipulated to work.

Love this stuff!

Yes. The problem is that there is no ">" function. All I get is this:

CustomProperty *                     actually                      high *

The Custom Property is called High and can contain anything from 90 and above. I tried to get it to trigger using the above but it didn't.

Ideally it should be

high > 90

Have you attempted this already using the Advanced Alert app?  If so, what were your results.  I just looked quickly and you should be able to as custom properties are available.
