Building a custom alert based on "Last Database Update"

I'm not sure why I am having such a struggle with this one, It seems to me that it should be very easy to do.

I am trying to build an alert that triggers when the polling engine status field "Last Database Update" or "Last Database Sync" reaches a specific time limit. for example >5 min.

Can someone tell me which property I need to leverage this alert on and where I can find it in the Configure Alerts utility?

TIA.

Did you find a way of doing this? I would like to do the same.

Unfortunately no, I have not. Every so often I have another go at it but thus far, no success.

I'm interested in doing this as well but haven't found a way to do it yet.

SW Staff, is this possible?

Our database server has been a little unstable and it gets "fixed" sometimes but Orion hangs and won't update. I have to end up killing the NetPerfMon service to get it back. We ran almost all day yesterday like this and if I could have been alerted, I could have gotten it fixed sooner.

You probably want to watch the KeepAlive column in the Engines table. The poller updates that regularly when the database connection is ok.

This is what I use.
