Adding Ping or Traceroute on Email Escalation

ralph.pineda

Hi, Guys.

Is there a way i can include the ping or trace route result on an email escalation when a node is down? i tried to searching on the forum but it seems i can't find the correct keyword.

Regards,

Ralph

Check out the "top processes" example. That one executes a program (provided by SolarWinds) that gathers the top processes and then puts them in the alert notes - then the email action (2 minutes later?) embeds that information in the email. You could do something similar with a traceroute or ping but that would leave you writing PowerShell.
