In Orion, how do I set an alert when bandwidth on an interface falls below a certain value? Do not want to know when the interface is down.

I am new to SolarWinds - so noob alert here.

End goal: alert sent when bandwidth drops below 150kb/s on select interfaces, but no alert for less than 150kb/s

Background:

Location of device: AWS VPC

Device/interface being monitored: Cisco Cloud Services Router

Interface: DMVPN tunnel interface

I am looking for a way to receive an alert when bandwidth on a Cisco Cloud Services Router interface (DMVPN tunnel) falls below a certain value. I don't want a node down alert, as clients sometimes power off their CSR device.

Reason for alert is to know when performance of the CSR device is degraded. Sometimes the CSR loses it's connection with the Cisco license server and downgrades the bandwidth from 10000 kb/s to 100kb/s. This makes the connection to the subnet unusable. I would like to know this ASAP.

Thanks to anyone reading this.

You can configure the alert by specifying a trigger. The question you need to ask yourself is, how long should this condition last before you get the alert? Sometimes bandwidth utilization will drop below 150kb/s because of latency on the distant end. Sometimes it will drop because of lack of data traversing. There may be other ways to build this alert. Either way, read this guide for a how-to on creating alerts, and just look through the trigger actions to identify the bandwidth threshold.

I don't see why you couldnt just set up alert logic where
interface name contains DMVPN tunnel interface
and interface status is up
and interface total bps < 150000
and interface total bps > 0
