Alert when Custom Poller Changes

garystorr Apr 6, 2017 5:49 AM

Hi,

I currently monitor a HA Pair of devices via a single IP and use a custom Poller to indicate if the active device is the Primary or Secondary device. I need an alert to trigger when this poller changes so im notified of a possible failure. I have been able to set up the alert to trigger when it changes from a specific value, (i.e from Primary to Secondary) but not to trigger when the value simply changes.

I am using v11.5.3 so am configuring the alert through the web. I am sure in the old Advanced Alert Manager there used to be an option for "value has changed" but i cant seem to find this on the web alerts.

Can anyone offer any help.

Thanks

Im not sure about a "value has changed", but what you could is have two alerts. One for the primary and one for secondary. There may be a better way to do this since one alert will always be triggered, but thats the easiest way i can think of.

  Thanks for the reply. That's the only other solution i came up with too. Not too happy about having one always in a triggered state though.
