Forgive me this was posted elsewhere but I cannot find out how to perform the following actions:
1.) How do I unassing alerts from a lot of nodes all at once?
2.) How to keep NPM from assigning default alerts from newly imported nodes?
1) only all or nothing
2) by default it's not possible
However I have a solution for you:
Create a custom node property: (e.g. CP_Alert_Enabled) and set it to "true" where you want alerts
Copy the default alert and add as condition "CP_Alert_Enabled = true"
Disable the default alert and only use your custom alert
You Rock! Thank You!
I think it's important to keep in mind a way that SolarWinds alerts are fundamentally different than some other tools. In some tools you "assign" alerts to monitored objects and so you can pull up a node and have it spit out a check list of alerts that the node can tr.
Orion alerts never get assigned to anything, they are all just queries in the database that look for anything that matchs your requirements. You can define things in the scope or conditions to narrow down the alert to only apply to specific nodes or scenarios, but ultimately there is no defined relationship between the alert and the object, all nodes are subject to all alerts, except where your alert logic excludes them (for example with a custom property).
