Changing node status with an Advanced Alerts

Hi,
Say I use a Custom Node Poller in an Advanced Alert to monitor an OID variable, then if the condition is met, I want to be able to switch the status for this particular node to warning or down.

Thanks,
clefranc

You can only change custom properties.
Node status is not a custom property & is updated by the poller.

You could create a new custom property & display that on the node details page or the node summary page.

Ok, thanks for the tip Network_Guru, but I can only change a custom property in a Basic Alert, not an Advanced Alert, right?

Custom MIB poller values are only available in an Advanced Alert, so is it possible (how?) to change a custom property value based on a 'Custom Node Poller' trigger condition within an Advanced Alert? The 'Change Custom Property' is not include in 'Select an Action' ('Add New Action' button of the 'Trigger Actions' tab in 'Edit Advanced Alert').

You are correct, there is no easy way to do this.
You could write a script to manually change an entry in the DB & have the alert manager execute the script, but that is hardly a scalable solution.

I suggest you add this to the list in this post:
