We are working on a set of custom alerts for the Cisco HCS platform, one of the things we have ran into is that based on the role a server has, one node may not always have the same services running as another node; however, that can change if the state of nodes changes.
The way we were thinking of approaching this is we created a custom monitoring template that has the services which are not ALWAYS running on a node set to display in a state of "Not Running" instead of "Down". What we need now is the ability to monitor and alert ONLY if the state changes from UP to Not Running or Down, we don't care if the state of the services goes to Not Running for any other reason, only if it changes from UP to Not Running.
With 6.2.x we are not really finding an easy way to accomplish this as the trigger to alert when Component Status changes has been removed in the migration to "Web Based Alerts".
Any idea on how we can make this happen?
