Hi,
I have a problem with Hyperic event alerts on Availability.
I want to simply alert and email when a server becomes unavailable. I am using the standard Availability metric that Hyperic collects, and the alert I setup triggers on event that the Availability is equal to 0%. I am getting many false positives where I am alerted that availability is 0%, but when I look there are no problems on the monitored server, and even the Availability graph shows no evidence of 0% Availability.
I have tried to configure the alert to only trigger when the 0% event occurs 20 times in 1 hour, but even that still falsely triggers the alert sometimes. I have tried this in different environments and have the same issue everywhere.
Is there an easier way to detect when a server has gone down and/or become unavailable?
Thanks
