Re: Generate alert on event
Event triggers would be nice, but they don't seem to be possible at the moment unless you set up a trigger on the SQL database itself, which would also need to be the thing which actually sends the alert. It's easy with T-SQL though.
See this image for the alert I've set up for this exact problem - it does work fine:
I use this alert text; the variable could do with being a bit different though:
Volume: ${FullName}
Orion Status: ${Status}
Monitoring of disk space for this volume has probably stopped.
This is normally a problem with Solarwinds as opposed to an issue with the server or volume itself.
In some cases this alert can be triggered by renaming or removing a volume.
If this volume is on a SAN, it may need to be removed & re-added to Solarwinds due to the SNMP IDs changing.
This alert will repeat every 60 minutes while there is a problem with the volume. If the volume is removed and re-added to Solarwinds, then a "recovery" email will likely NOT be sent, because the original volume will no longer exist.

Re: Generate alert on event
Hi Paul--
Another thing to try is to watch our very informative and short alert tutorials. You can find them and other product tutorials at:

Re: Generate alert on event
that solution would probably fire also if the server would not be reachable via snmp anymore for a bit, right?

Re: Generate alert on event

Obviously the condition with :\ in it will need to be changed for *nix systems & linux-based appliances etc.
You can do the same for "unknown" interfaces, but I often see interfaces appear as "unknown" when they've never actually had the network cable plugged in to a spare NIC, so that's not as useful.
