Newbie alert question

ParrottJ · Post by **ParrottJ** » Thu May 17, 2018 8:21 am

I am new to this software and have been put in charge of setting up monitoring/alerting of our Data Center.
I am looking for a way to setup an alert for 2 routers in a converged network. I have setup simple email alerts based on ping tests if either one goes down. I need to create one that will send an email to a different group if both routers go down. Since we are not a 24/7 shop we respond to downed equipment during normal work hours, however if these core routers go down then our on call staff has to be notified
Thank you

Add 2nd "Send e-mail" action into alert profile assigned to these tests (TestA and TestB).
Use "advanced mode" for the action and expression like
('%::TestA::SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and ('%::TestB::SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') and (%Recurrences%==1)
where TestA - name of the 1st test (ping router 1), TestB - name of the other test (ping router 2)
