SDT for minor alerts
Hi, Every morning i have to clear a couple of hundred alerts from my inbox that come in while our customers servers are running backups. We often get 'disk latency' 'network latency' type alerts while the backups are running. As they are run outside of hours, we do not really need these. Please could you add a way of creating SDT based on alert severity or better yet, build a mechanism to schedule backup window times to filter noise alerts like disk latency. I'm sure I'm not the only one to encounter this issue. Kris4Views0likes4CommentsOverwriting custom alerts when importing a new data source
Hi, This is really annoying. I have to set custom alerts for our data sources for things like VMware data source usage. The default data sources only give you an error alertwhen the disk gets to 99% not a critical. I always change this as a data source filling up will take your Vm'soffline. I do this for quite a few other alerts too. I then see a new VMware data source that you guys put up and get excited and apply it strait away....overwriting my custom alerts. This normally results in an outage because we didn't notice a data source filling up and a phone call from my boss. so my feature request is...can you guys allow us to 'write protect' our custom alerts so we can import new data sources preserving our custom alerts or changes? Please???0Views1like0Comments- 31Views0likes0Comments
Better Windows Event Monitoring
Hi, As much as i love the graphs and visuals that LM produces for all sorts of metrics, unfortunately a big part of our monitoring is keeping an eye on Windows Event Logs, which i have to say LM is not that good at. Adding exceptions is a pain (i now have so many i often delete them by accident when adding new ones). I have been told this is in the pipeline for the new UI several times but it has not been mentioned as yet. My first line guys check our gfi & LM dashboard every morning and i hear time again that they prefer the gfi one for looking at Event log messages. I have even caught them loading gfi on to servers that already have LM on them (costing us twice the cost). Is there anything in the pipeline for this? I know it's not a priority for you guys, but i think for a lot of customers it would be.3Views2likes0Comments
