Hi,
For associations you probably want:
Status Type | in | cisco-firewall-hardware-primary-state
for test conditions:
status_value ne active
You can reverse it to check when the secondary unit becomes active. Match secondary unit and check for ne standby.

Hello,
I am unable to figure out how to create an alert to notify me when our VPN boxes go into failover mode.
Observium recognizes the event, but I would like a notification.
The following output is from the poller. The normal condition value for “Failover Primary unit” should be ‘active’.
+---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+---------------------+
| Descr | Type | Index | Origin | Value | Status | Last Changed |
+---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+---------------------+
| Failover Primary unit | cisco-firewall-hardware-primary-state | 6 | snmp | standby | warning | 2020-06-07 07:30:03 |
| Failover Secondary unit (this device) | cisco-firewall-hardware-secondary-state | 7 | snmp | active | warning | 2020-06-07 07:30:04 |
+---------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------+-------+--------+---------+---------+——————————+
I’ve tried several strings to make this work, but the Alerter either marks it as OK or does not show the above Statuses at all.
-
status_event equal warn
-
status_event ne ok
-
“Failover Primary unit” ne active
-
also without quotes and with underscores between
-
“Failover Primary unit” equal warn
-
also without quotes and with underscores between
-
cisco-firewall-hardware-primary-state equal warn
-
cisco-firewall-hardware-primary-state equal standby
Could anyone assist me in creating this Alert Checker?
