This is not really the right way to do it, because it’ll still be creating the alerts, they’ll just always be “ok”.

This is less bad on probes, but a really really bad idea to do on other things, as the alert entry table ends up scaling pretty painfully if you generate hundreds of thousands of alerts.

Hi Tony,

At first glance it should indeed be working, but I would use a regex for that

message notregexp .*-(atm|sp)-.*

Cannot test, am currently in a hurry, but give it a try ;)

Ahmed, this did seem to work with one term, however, I when I tried exclude some devices, the rule is firing when it should not….for example.  The device shown here is down, but I thought I was excluding that host from the rule….any idea’s whats wrong with my logic?

Hi Tony,

 

You should be able to filter the alert on the message property

Hi, I have a bunch of ping probes and I would like to write an alert for some (but not all).  Since the hostname is the same for all, how can I differentiate between them in an alert checker…for example, I want to alert on this:

But not this:

thanks
