I have a strange one to ask the community.
We have an Excel spreadsheet which produces a number in one of its cells.
Is there a way to create an alert to check the number and activate if it exceeds a threshold?
Thank you
What is the number that it is outputting? What is it reporting on?
Hi Solarmatt.
We have a small script that checks for the replication backlog on DFS. We use this to give us an proactive warning that there maybe an issue that could affect replication.
Its simply a number in a column on the spreadsheet and if its above a certain threshold activate an alert.
Many thanks
Why not just use an application monitor for DFS on the node(s)?
I can't find one that monitors the specific backlog number?
Unless you can point me in the right direction?
Never been asked to look at that, this is the DFS monitor I'm using:
On the template search page (where I found this one), it does look like someone created a template specific to what you're asking for. Several in fact. Not sure if they'll do the job for you but hopefully it'll be easier than watching a spreadsheet.
The last template listed is the one I'm using. So far so good.
