Lane,

This should work fine with what you're doing.

device_status is 0
device_status_type is ping

and

device_status is 0
device_status_type is snmp

Make sure to set the checker entity type to device.

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!
