Hi Guys,
I am attempting to setup an alert checker for when a server goes into a "down" state for either SNMP or Ping - ideally I would like to create one alert checker for each (ping & snmp).
Reviewing the metrics documentation I believe I should be using a combination of the following two:
device_status (0 = down, 1 = up) device_status_type (reason for down, 'snmp'/'ping')
Using the above I am failing miserably it seems as I am unable to get the alert checker to "match" a machine I turned off to do the testing.
Can anyone share a quick step by step on how to setup this alert checker correctly?
Thanks!
