Alerts for Network devices›
Hello,
I just need basics on alerting if device is down or maybe if VPN interface is down etc.
Attached I set an alert to just try and find devices that are currently "up" to see if it discovers them with the names starting as fw*. Once it works I will change to check for devices that are “down”
What am I doing wrong here since it isn't finding anything.
Hi,
Two immediate problems with those definitions :
a) You have two match statements for your device association. These are evaluated using "AND", so would both need to match to be accepted. b) "firewalls" should be "firewall"
You can create multiple associations for the same alert, so you can create one for "network" and one for "firewall".

Thanks Adam. I understand the statement and took off one of them to see what would happen. I am now getting the following and it's not showing up under Alert Checkers.

- Hostnames can't equal something with an asterisk, so you won't have entity matching (you probably want "match" instead of "eq").

Tom,
I switched it to "match" and while it does show devices with the check when I click regenerate it doesn't come up on the entities at all.
