Hi there,
We have just purchased Solarwinds Network Performance Monitor and I have be put in charge of setting it all up.
I have added all the nodes that I would like to monitor and can see how to group them via the AgentPort, community Contact etc. However when it comes to Alerting I am struggeling to work out how to get it to group correctly.
As an example, we have devices in many different countries. They all have the same community string, contact details etc. However we have multiple Departments that need to be alerted when their device goes offline. Our naming structure is xxxyyzz999 where xxx is the company code, yy is Site code, zz = device code, 999 = Device number. The problem is they all have the same Company code so I can't sort via name. People in Australia don't want to be notified if a device in Europe goes down, and visa vera. However they do want to know if their device is offline.
If there a way to create a group and add devices into that group and then set alerting to that group. Eg: AU-Devices, EU-Devices, etc.
I hope this makes some sort of sense.
Regards,
Bogor
