Hi Lane

are you using the subscription version or the community version?

because the alerts don't work with the community edition, only the subscription (im currently using the subscription edition)

Regards

Simon

Hi Tom,

Excellent, thanks!

I overlooked leaving the entity type at "state".

All good now.

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!
