We want to make an alert that would email a DL if we reached over X traps in a 24 hour period. I am guessing it can be completed in a SQL Script, but I don't know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
I would do this in the trap viewer itself, and would not need any custom SQL.
then use an alert action to send an email:
Thanks. I set this up and set it to 1 for the triggered alert but nothing was sent to my email. What would you suggest for putting in the conditions? I attempted the default and also not having anything in there with no difference.
Attached is an example -- you will have to edit the thresholds to be something sensible and update the email action..
(this worked for me in my environment a few seconds ago)
thanks, but no attachment came thru with the conditions settings you used.
thanks, but how can i see this in my webAlert List on the Solarwinds WebPage? it a Trap-Alert is active, the soulde be a active-alert in the web-page as well??
Hi
can you not just select the resource and add it ?
Unfortunately this is not easily possible -- the actions inside the Syslog (and trap) processing server applications don't cause advanced alerts to be displayed; they lack the simple ability to set properties on a node (or interface) that can be picked up by an alert.
What I do:
I use the more unusual options in the trap and syslog viewer to do things like set colour (yes, really) or a tag on the trap or alert, and then use a custom SQL alert.
I also have VBS scripts that set properties on objects )yes, really)
