Hi All,
I'm working on something that should be simple but can't seem to make it work.
Wanting to show only active alerts for a subset of servers in a resource (view tile) in a console.
Let's say I want to make a console showing information for the Domain Controllers in my environment. Domain Controllers all have '-DC-' in the host name (node caption).
In my Solarwinds system I've made a console for Domain Controllers. I have set up a View Limitation defined for System Name like '-DC-'
O.K. I add a Node List resource to the console and it only shows me Domain Controllers. Groovy.
Now I add the Active Alert resource to my console. But... it shows me every active alert in the entire system, not just those for DCs. And... the 'edit' functionality does not allow the addition of any kind of filter.
Same with the 'All Alerts' resource. Shows all alerts and seems to ignore view limitation on the console. Also no filtering capability that will help me.
Next idea. Custom Table resource. I choose the 'Active Alerts' data source. But what field to filter for hosts with '-DC-' in the name? "Node Caption" and "Related Node" caption to not return anything. The Active Alerts resource has a field called "Triggering Object" that looks like what I want but that does not seem to be present in the WHERE clause fields for Active Object. I think the field name is "ObjectName" in the SQL table.
So... kind of stuck.
Can anyone in the community offer some pointers on how to get Active Alerts filtered by host name pattern to show up in a console view? Thanks in advance for any assistance.
