Application Alerting

kulastone over 16 years ago

I have been reading in the forums about using rules to send out alerts. Does anyone know how to do that?

I am trying to just get notified when a web servers IIS services gets restarted..

Any clues anyone?

In V8.5 there is an
option available to build alerts based on applications. You will need to do
so in the Advanced Alerts. When you are building the trigger conditions at the
top, change the drop down option from Type of Property to Monitor Node to Type of Property to Monitor Application

This will open the options to build alerts based on applications.

You will need to have the Application Monitor module installed and then you will see the option- sorry, I was not clear.

Well im going into my System Manager => Alerts => Configure Advance Alerts. And i dont see any default alerting to do with Applications..

The last time i ran the config wizard was when i set it up 3weeks ago..
