Server & Application Monitor (SAM)

Feature Requests Custom Properties for Components

Open for Voting

Custom Properties for Components

I'm loving the new Custom Properties for Applications introduced in SAM 5.5, but sometimes I have a need to be even more granular. For example, we use an Exchange SAM monitor containing about 15 different Components. 14 of those, we only use for historical data, but the one for Mailbox Queue Length is critical. We could really do with being able to tag it with a Custom Property and write an alert for it, like:

Node Status is not equal to Down

Component Status is equal to Down

ComponentImportance is equal to High

We could then have a single alert for all components we care about. It's also crucial to be able to set different property value for the same component on different nodes.

Hello mesverrum tony.johnson , I can found a lot of requests like this one (components level custom properties)
Do you know if someone is working on this ?
Moving here from Centreon to Solarwinds, hard to loss functionality like granular tagging
- I want this component on-call but not these one
- I want this component give just warning/critical status but without alert, but i want alerts for the others
- I want this component give me an alert but i don't want a ticket in ITSM ! But I want tickets for others
- I want this component alert X team, this component alert Y team, this component alert Z team
How guy do you manage this kind of requests ? Do you use another way to tag like user notes/description fields ?
Do you split 1 template to 10/20/30 templates to be able to manage these requests ?
We are close to stop the project because of this
