Escalation Chains for bank holidays vs standard weeks
Hi LogicMonitor community, We are fairly new to the product, just looking to see if anyone had any advice for handling Escalation Chains when it comes to Bank Holiday weekends. We currently have escalation chains created for our teams to handle automated call-outs for our critical devices/checks during standard weekends and outside of core hours. However with Bank Holiday weekends requiring the need to operate the same process on Friday/Monday's depending on the specific weekend, we'd need to ensure those additional days does are covered too. The obvious solution we've come up with is to create a Bank Holiday On-call escalation chain for each of the teams where we can be flexible and amend the days we'd want to be called out on, then swap out that escalation chain to any alert rules which required it. This would work, although considering we've got multiple teams configured with on-call escalation chains within LogicMonitor as well as many alert rules using them, this is a manual process we'd need to keep on top of before/after every bank holiday, which leaves some room for human error of course. Has anyone implemented something similar and have any advice they would be willing to share? I can't imagine we would be the first customers to come across this scenario. Thanks in advance!57Views3likes2CommentsTime-based escalation chains with 8-5 M-F and the inverse?
I’m trying to set up an escalation chain for a group where it does one behavior from 8-5 Monday through Friday, but also in the same escalation chain, we want anything OUTSIDE that time to follow anotther behavior. Unfortunately, I see 3 problems. It looks like I’m going to have to make 4 different subchains. a) weekends, b) midnight to 8 am, c) 8 am to 5 pm, and d) 5pm to midnight It looks like LM wont let me select 24:00 to make sure the gap is closed, so I’m worried about alerts that happen between 23:45 and 24:00 (00:00 next day) It also bugs me that technically the way I’m doing it below, I have 2 subchains that apply to the 8:00 minute and the 17:00 minute (5 pm) as each of those moments are included in subchains that overlap on that one minute Does anyone have a better solution to this? What do I do about #2 above in particular? Thanks!Solved77Views9likes1Comment
