Help raising an aggregation alert for the same service on multiple servers

cooksons

Hello, I need to create a monitor alert that will trigger a different priority ticket based on the number of nodes affected.

e.g. I have 5 servers: server 1, server 2, server 3, server 4, server 5

• if a service stops for 5m on any one of these servers  = P4 ticket
• if same service stops for 5m on any two of these servers = P3 ticket
• if same service stops for 5m on any 3+ of these servers  = P2 ticket

I'm happy creating a monitor/alert that will raise a ticket if the service stops on any of these servers but I'm not sure how to raise a different priority ticket if multiple of the same service stopped.

I hope this makes sense and someone can help.

Many thanks

Stuart

You could create a P1, P2 and P3 alert and use complex conditions to trigger the P2 and P3 alert if multiple servers/ applications are showing the condition. 

In trigger conditions click on Advanced options.

Build complex conditions in the Orion Platform (solarwinds.com)
