Advanced Alerts : Ignore particualr nodes

AndrewShine

I've just started playing around with advanced alerting. I've enabled the out of the box 'High Response Time Monitoring' advanced alert which works fine. In fact too well in that I'm getting lots of alerts from 3 nodes that I know are only being used (abused!?) for testing. I'd like to configure the alert to ignore those 3 nodes but can't work out the logic. (I know this would be trivial in basic alerting: I'd just untick the nodes).

I think the condition will be based upon node name(s) e.g. the nodes are call test1, test2, test3,  then if node name starts with 'test' don't trigger the alert.

Any suggests (or perhaps a screenshot?)

 Thanks

If those three routers have a common name like labrouter1, 2, 3 this should be rather simple:  Add a condition group and change it Trigger alert when none of the following apply, then add a Simple condition that says Nodename contains labrouter.  If the names are not similar just add three simple conditions that have the unique hostnames...
