Question on Alert Engines.

Question on Alert Engines. In our setup we have 1 Orion SLX & 2 SLX pollers. Alert engines run on all the servers. Should only one be running? How does the alerting engine(s) work alone / together. Reason I am looking into this is we have see a delay in our alerts. Here is an example. Solarwinds saw the node down at 9:50 AM the alert was sent at 10:23 AM. Our Alert is set to trigger after the node has been down for 5 Min. The reset worked fine with in 10 min of the node being up we received a node up message. Ideas, help, Wisdom?

Dan,

If we are talking about the Advanced Alerts then you only need it running on a single system since it is Polling Engine Agnostic. Also make sure that the trigger delay has been set on the Trigger Condition screen and not eh Alert Action screen.

You would recommend only having one server have the alert service running? Could having more than one run be creating DB locks?

Dan,

Yes, that is a possibility, however, rare.
