Hi I'm new to the forum and have a question about what happens when alerts fail to run. Usually I've relied on a ping and other monitors to know the status of a machine, but today I had a situation where the VM was responding to pings, but was 100% inaccessible and non-responsive. The monitors just errored saying they could not be run, but no email alert was sent. Is it possible to get alerted if a monitor fails to run? Thanks Rich asked 11 Apr '16, 20:56 wallacr |
In addition to what Tom said above (global alerts for monitors that can't run), you can also on a per-monitor have the monitor fire alerts. To do that, go to the monitor's Advanced Options to the Status tab. There is a check box there to run notifications if the monitor can't run. answered 13 May '16, 09:54 Doug ♦♦ |
