advance alert for bandwidth utilization

Question

hi there,

just like to verify if my setting is correct using advance alert, that when a specific router IP (as indicated in the attachment) reached 70% bandwidth utilization, it will trigger an email alert for the that specific IP.

You should definitely take kweise's suggestion. Along with that, you should modify the alert as follows:* Trigger alert when all of the following apply
* Add a condition group and place all of your "IP Address" condition statements in this group
* Set the condition group to trigger when any of the following apply

Actually, you need a couple of changes:

1.  greater than 70%, not = 70%

2.  You shouldn't set it to "any".  Instead, you should identify the objects that you want to alert on and assign a custom property to them using the custom property editor.  You would then create an "and" condition that says great than 70% and custom property = "foo".

Someone from SolarWinds could probably answer this better than I can, but my guess would be that your condition will only be triggered if the utilization is exactly 70 percent.  If it were me, I'd change it to greather than or equal to 70 percent.
