Oh wait, it just doesn't sort the messages in a useful manner.

You're trying to do the matching in the wrong part of the alert config.
The test conditions is not a suitable place to do entity associations,
that's what association ruleset is for.
The two conditions likely didn't work because you only have limited
control over the logic on the test conditions, but it's really not worth
thinking about it too much. Just do the association in the association
ruleset using the probe description, that does contain the hostname.
Because you put it there.

I answered this on the 3rd, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be
in the list archives, though it's in my sent items.

The correct and only real way to tell probes created this way apart is
by the user-defined probe description, which in this case actually
does seemingly include the hostname.
It's a but clunky because it'd likely require a bunch of "OR" rules in
the association ruleset to match each of the hostnames if a pattern
can't exactly match what's needed, though.
Note that there's officially no direct support with the "Professional"
edition, as it's intended for the service provider sector which often
neither needs nor wants to pay for support. Enterprise is the
officially supported product.
Though we do tend to answer most questions on the mailing list and
discord if someone else doesn't answer them better first.
Thanks,
adam.

Adam, I'm open to any suggestions you have about how to improve this
process. The problem I see is that I cannot use hostname because
probes are all attached to the same host. I need to distinguish
different probes. How else do I do that?

This is not really the right way to do it, because it’ll still be
creating the alerts, they’ll just always be “ok”.
This is less bad on probes, but a really really bad idea to do on
other things, as the alert entry table ends up scaling pretty
painfully if you generate hundreds of thousands of alerts.

Hi Tony,
At first glance it should indeed be working, but I would use a regex
for that
message |notregexp| .*-(atm|sp)-.*
Cannot test, am currently in a hurry, but give it a try ;)

Ahmed, this did seem to work with one term, however, I when I
tried exclude some devices, the rule is firing when it should
not….for example. The device shown here is down, but I thought
I was excluding that host from the rule….any idea’s whats wrong
with my logic?

Hi Tony,
You should be able to filter the alert on the message property

Hi, I have a bunch of ping probes and I would like to write
an alert for some (but not all). Since the hostname is the
same for all, how can I differentiate between them in an
alert checker…for example, I want to alert on this:
<image006.jpg>
But not this:
<image007.jpg>
thanks
