I have set up a group which contains 10 nodes. Is there a way to manage the alerts on the group that would apply to all the nodes contained wihin?
thank you
Have you checked out Custom Properties Network Performance Monitor Training #5: Custom Properties and Account Limitations - YouTube
this should be possible, create an advanced alert and select "group member" property in trigger section.
as trigger you define something like:
this would trigger you an alert for any defined group member, but not for group BLA - test it, I never did the kind of reverse alert you described...
but as rob.hock suggested, I'd recommend using Custom Properties instead of groups too.
the problem is, that you usually do not only alert node status but also interface or whatever child status a.s.o.
this does not work with group based alerts - and there you are with Custom Properties - because they exist for nodes and interfaces as well....
