I have a situation where that wouldn't work. For example: You have a check that may automatically recover after the first down (possibly a false alarm). On second down, you are pretty sure that the service needs restarting so a restart service command is issued. On third down, you conclude the service didn't restart correctly and human intervention is now required. The alerting would ideally look like: 1st down: No alert Up after 1st down: No alert 2nd down: Service x is down, attempting service restart Up after 2nd down: Service x is UP, service restart successful 3rd down: Service x did not respond to restart, take action! Up after 3rd down: Service x is UP
As servers Alive is setup now, you would receive the same service up message no matter how many times it was down, including the nuisance alerts for first downs. >>> Salvador Manzo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 11/7/2007 4:50:05 PM >>> Brett, Can you do this with two alerts? DOWN = When x down etc, UP = ONLY when back up after a down? That would let you set the subject text separately. It would be nice to have them together, however, in a single alert page.
