Hello,
I am trying to monitor for when an event is triggered. I have so far created a Template using the wizard. As a result I have the Template assigned to the node that I want to monitor and within that template there is an Application Monitor and a component monitor; the component monitor is using 'Windows Event Log Monitor' and I have configured this for gpupdate event 1501 etc......
In Advanced Alerts, settings aer as follows:-
General tab: name of alert - Check alert every 5 mins
Trigger Condition - Application Status is equal to Critical - trigger the action when condition lasts for more than 1 second
Reset Condition - reset when trigger conditions are no longer true.
Alert Suppression - default
Time of Day - all days from 12:00am to 11:59pm
Trigger Actions - I have set this up to email myself with a message - SMTP info is correct - Execute every day of the week (the execute between hours is unticked) - Alert Escalation is all greyed out; nothing is ticked.
Reset Actions - nothing set in here
Alert Sharing - I've added some vairiables.
The problem I have is that the alert seems to be working but I'm getting close to 100 emails and I have no clue why. I'm thinking it could be something to do with the logic in the trigger alert as I've tried variations and received no email. I'm very new to this so I'm struggling with the solution. I log on to the server that is being monitored then at a command prompt I type 'gpupdate' this instantly pops up in the system log and an email is triggered but lots and lots.... I feel so near yet so far :-|
Any help would be much appreciated.
