Alert Question

Question

I just want to bounce this off some experts to make sure I have it right.  Setup an alert to let me know if we can't get out to the Internet.

I've added the D Root(node id 732) and yahoo.com(node id 733) (ICMP only) to a poller.

The Server can send out pages via GSM Modem.

Trigger Condition-->

Trigger Alert when all of the folllowing apply.
Node status is equal to down
node id equals 732
node id equals 733

I only want to know if orion can't get to both.  Anyone think that would work?

You can give a try to the following as well and keep the Alert Suppression Empty. Both solutions should work:

The problem with your current condition is that it requires the nodeid to be both 732 AND 733 which can never be true.  The only way I can think of to do this is with an alert suppression.  Your trigger condition would say:

Trigger Alert when all of the following apply.
Nodeid is equal to 732
NodeStatus is equal to down

Then configure an alert suppression that says:

Suppress Alert when all of the following apply.
Node id is equal to 733
Node Status is not equal to Down

I tested this and it doesn't seem to work, anyone have any ideas?
