Server Monitoring
Submitted by CraigRiley on 30 April, 2008 - 16:42.
Forgive my Noobness, but I am having difficulties getting a Rule to work.
We have recently installed Altiris Monitoring on all of our servers. I have been tasked with the configuration of a Portal and with Real Time Information gathering.
As part of this, I created a rule to alert us if a Server was restarted based on an NT Event...whether it be a graceful restart or an unexpected shut down.
My rules basically say if Event Source and Log Source and Event Type = A, then send an E-Mail.
So far with my testing, I have been unsuccessful in generating an E-Mail.
I am thinking maybe I have the rule under the wrong metric, but I'm not sure. Any ideas would to lead me in the right direction would be brilliant.

Craig
A couple things to check...
First of all, make sure that your SMTP server settings are set correctly in your NS server configuration. I 'fat fingered' those on one of our servers once.
Second, have the event trigger create a report or check the SQL table (Evt_AeX_Monitor_Triggered_Rules) to actually make sure the event is tripping. If it's not, then maybe you have the server event trigger defined wrong in your monitor metric.
