Is there away to test node in SW without actually turning it off or unplugging the interface. I guess what I mean to say is I need a way I can test alerts in SW without the need to involve the node that is being monitored. Thanks.
@cwjohnson3rd I usually just create a firewall rule in Windows firewall to block ping to the node I wanna test.
@cwjohnson3rd, on the main poller outbound icmp traffic rule to whatever node you want to test
On the node or the main poller. These are routers and switches I need to test... I wish it were servers
Is this a custom alert? You can also sort of reverse engineer it if you want to know if the trigger conditions are correct so instead of saying node is down use node is up and see if it triggers the alert. You can also check the summary page of the alert that you are working on to see if it will trigger on any other node that fits that critiera.
We will try that... thanks!!!!
