Advanced alert question

bmwmay

In the past we've used just basic alerts. Now we have v8 of Orion NPM and I'm trying to get alerts setup that tell me when any of our Exchange server disk volumes go below 5 GB. With basic alerts, I would tell it property to monitor then pick and choose the monitored network objects. How do I setup the trigger conditions so it only monitors the exchange server disk space and not every server setup in NPM?

I set up my alerts using custom properties fairly heavily. For example, I would create a custom property called "Server Type" or something of that nature, and then configure my exchange servers to be of type "Exchange".

Then when you create the alert you can only have it trigger if the node is down and is of the server type: exchange.

However, I've been having problems making these alerts work consistently. I've emailed support about the issue, and posted questions about it here a couple times with no luck so far. Support is going to be getting back to me.
