Re: ipMonitor v8.5 to v9.0.6 Upgrade - SmartGroup Performance
simonpt Oct 27, 2009 3:20 PM (in response to hemlock)Another way to use SmartGroups for alerts is to use tags. Tag each monitor/device with whatever tag you want to use (we use "importance=Critical") then create a SmartGroup that includes only the monitors/devices with that tag. Your SmartGroup then only uses one expression instead of 25 and should be a lot more efficient.
Only caveat is that tags don't work with SmartGroups in IPM v9.0.6. You'll need up upgrade to v10.0.

Re: ipMonitor v8.5 to v9.0.6 Upgrade - SmartGroup Performance
hemlock Oct 28, 2009 8:52 AM (in response to simonpt)Thanks Simon, that definitely sounds like a workable approach to simplifying SmartGroups and making more efficient.
I'm going to assume that a single SmartGroup with 20+ Add expressions vs 20+ SmartGroups with 1 Add expression would probably perform the same either way.
We'll be performing some test with the released v10 before upgrading and this will be something we will try and address.
Thanks again.
