  • I would create a node custom property called ExcludeFromReport of type Yes/No and set only the trouble systems to Yes leaving the others either blank or No. Then when the report's being created, exclude those nodes using the custom property value. -- Steven W.

  • If you put nodes in a group, its default behavior (mixed status) is going to send the group into 'Warning' if one or more go down and 'Down' if all of them are down. That sounds like it jibes with the alert conditions you're describing. At that point you just need to have two alert definitions - one triggering when the…

  • Is this the one you imported? There's no reason to do this in an APM template - if you need the serial numbers as reported by Win32_BIOS, just run a quick powershell script and feed it all your system names. Run it whenever you need the updated information. If you have a file with your systems in it called 'systems.txt':…

  • I installed a fresh install for a customer a couple of days ago and the basic alert manager was still in the start menu.

  • You're not going to be able to chop up the hostname in the config template unfortunately, but you could put that information (the 1234 portion) in a custom property and then use *that* in the script. For example if you called it HostnameSuffix you could embed that in the code as @ContextNode.HostnameSuffix.

  • Setting it to dynamic will get it to resolve each time, but you should probably start with a valid IP address first. Give that a try and see what happens?

  • There's no Nagios -> NPM conversion utility as far as I know. You'd want to create two alerts: one with a trigger condition "ResponseTime is greater than or equal to 400" and a trigger action that emails your warning SMS notification, and another with "ResponseTime is greater than or equal to 600" and a trigger action that…
