Alert - Notify when node powers on HELP

allnyabi78 over 5 years ago

Hi All,

I'm a newbee to Solarwinds, and looking for a little help.

Looking to create an alert that e-mails our team when a particular server (node) powers on.

The server is intended to be powered off because it has old certs, and not ready for decom.

I tried using to use the out of the box alert "Alert me when a group goes down" in reverse, but not getting the e-mails.

1) Do I need to create a monitor instead of an alert?

2) I've included the settings below, but not sure if this is my problem.

Any input is appreciated.
