I have a particular requirement to mark a node as being down when an application is either unknown or down.
The trigger condition is set to application/application availability is not equal to Up and the trigger action is set to change status to down on the node that trigger the alert. This seems fairly basic however the trigger action does not work. I get an error when trying to simulate "Execution of CustomStatus action with Entity type - Orion.APM.Application failed. Custom Status alerting action only works with Orion.Nodes.". The error is description enough so I assume the trigger is not picking up the node name correctly from the right variable however I thought this would be a very basis setup. Any ideas if this is a known bug or have I configured this incorrectly?
The trigger condition works fine so I've modified the alert to set a custom property and a second alert to monitor this and set the node as down.
