I currently have NNM (running on Wink2 Server) set to monitor nodes / interfaces on my network.
I have configured a custom alert (copied from OV_IF_Down)
to monitor a selection of interfaces. It has an action to send off an email when it goes down.
(I am ultimately trying to monitor a selection of servers and switch / router interfaces, but I am not sure of any reason to use OV_Node_Down, as most of our servers only have 1 NIC, am I mistaken?)
I believe I have followed the instructions in the manual perfectly, but when I take a server offline, nothing is logged in the alarm browser and no events are triggered. The interface does go from green to red on the map, though.
This is the strange part. If I unmanage this node, then take the server offline, then manage the node, as soon as NNM polls, it sees the server interface as down, everything is logged and all triggers function properly.
Another oddity; I had previously been testing my alerts with a wireless access point; everything worked perfectly. I would unplug it from the network, NNM would trigger an alert, and sent me an email. Today I noticed that this access point was set to unmanaged, I set it to managed. Since then, I haven't been able to get it to trigger any alarms.
I'm banging my head against the desk on this one; any idea what I'm missing?
Thanks,
Jason Faraone
