How to view Monitors which have changed state in the past hour.

Setup a SmartGroup with the following settings:

-Start with: No Monitors

-Add Monitors where property "State Change"
Matches regular expression: ^(3[0-5]..|...|..|.)$

This will provide all monitors which have changed state in the last 3600 seconds


Just thought I would share this one with the community.  Thanks Peter.

  • This is great...thanks for passing it on. Keeping posting more ideas like this.

    Question though, is it possible to only show monitors that had a "down" state in the past hour?

  • Hi chaldz,

    Sure thing.  To that same SmartGroup, add the following filters:

    -Remove Monitors where status is up
    -Remove Monitors where status is warn
    -Remove Monitors where status is lost
    -Remove Monitors where status is offline

    As a result, your list of Monitors will be Monitors that have changed to a Down state within the last hour.

    Enjoy.

  • I tried this and it removed all monitors except those that are currently down. Any monitors that were down within the last hour but are now back up did not show up in this group. What I would like to see is only monitors that made it to status=down within the last hour but are currently in any status. Is this possible?
  • Hi chaldz,

    My apologies, I thought you wanted to view the Monitors that were currently in a down state and that had gone into that down state in the past hour.

    At this time it is only possible to filter Monitors on their current state.  

    Sincerely,
