Nested Conditions in Advanced Alerts

acherman

I am trying to set an Advanced Alert based on more than one device's status. My Alert looks like this:

Trigger when all of the following apply

Node Name is equal to Device-1

Node Status is equal to Down

Trigger when all of the following apply

Node Name is equal to Device-2

Node Status is equal to Down

Trigger when all of the following apply

Node Name is equal to Device-3

Node Status is equal to Down

Unfortunately this does not trigger. I have tried a few different things. It looks like as soon as I add more than one Node it fails to trigger. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

I believe the first line in the alert that says "Trigger when all of the following apply" should be "Trigger when any of the following apply". With the current configuration all of the sub conditions would have to be true in order for the alert to trigger. In other words, all three nodes would have to be down.

Having the alert trigger when all 3 nodes are down is what I am going for here. Sorry, should have mentioned that.

NOTE: Alert manager compares a single node against the trigger conditions of each alert. With that in mind, it's not possible to have a node with more than one node name at a time. The only way I can see this working is with a custom SQL statement. That statement would have to check the status of all three nodes at once, assuming this is possible with a single SQL statement.

Damn. Thanks. I guess I will try to work this another way.

Thanks.
