correlated events

Hi,

we are trying to monitor the availability of our VPN tunnels to distant locations. The idea is to ping two devices at the target location and raise an error if BOTH pings fail.

However, we are not sure if we have done this right (see attached files). Well, at least we didn't receive mail. But we now that this location has had problems and did fail recently. Can anyone explain why we didn't receive mail at ITsupport?

Correlating Events to Recognize Problems

Every engineer and manager who receives alerts from automated monitoring systems can relate to both the critical need they fill and to their often annoying short comings. I'm not just referring to a situation where the monitoring has recently been installed, and you haven't tuned the default thresholds to limit notification to actionable events. The nature of monitoring and alerting, even with the most sophisticated programs, is that problem events are based on very narrow criteria, like a server's CPU Load, or a router's bandwidth consumption, or some application's .NET errors.

kb22: Issue inserting variable into the full text of a correlated event using IE

When a variable is inserted into the Full Text generated event field of a Correlated Event using Internet Explorer, the variable will always be appended to the end of the existing text, no matter where the cursor was positioned prior to the insert. This is not a problem with Firefox. Heroix is investigating how to resolve this issue for a future release.
