Advance Alert Trigger Condition Examples

I really need some help understanding the trigger conditions.

Im trying to write a condition that monitors the Internet Information Store and Exchange Info Store. I want to know when either of these services go down for any server running theses applications except for any server or group of servers I specify.

This is what I have so far:

Trigger this alert when ANY of the following apply

Application Name is equal to Internet Information Store

Application Name is equal to Exchange Info Store

Application Status is equal to DOWN

Can someone explain to me just what this condition will do?

looks good so far- alert will trigger if either 'store' is down.

see this pdf for the 8.1 variables

Do you have the Application Monitor module?

Thanks again Mark.

yes, I have the Application monitor.

How do I exclude a server or group of server running theses services within the same alert?

whats the difference between these two?

Trigger this alert when ANY of the following apply

Application Name is equal to Internet Information Store

Application Name is equal to Exchange Info Store

Application Status is equal to DOWN

and

Trigger this alert when ANY of the following apply

Node Name is equal to *

Application Name is equal to Internet Information Store

Application Name is equal to Exchange Info Store

Application Status is equal to DOWN

Trigger this alert when ANY of the following apply
Application Name is equal to Internet Information Store
Application Name is equal to Exchange Info Store
Application Status is equal to DOWN
and
Trigger this alert when ANY of the following apply
Node Name is equal to *
Application Name is equal to Internet Information Store
Application Name is equal to Exchange Info Store
Application Status is equal to DOWN

You might want to change the ANY to ALL in the first trigger condition and this wildcard Node Name is equal to * will cover all the nodes that Orion is monitoring.

here is another variation

Looks like the logic would give alert when App status is down no matter what, because those are in both sections...no?

wouldnt changing it to ALL from ANY mean that both services will have to go down for the alert to trigger?
