That is my problem as well. Too many false positives.
I’m running Windows Server 2000 Service Pack 4. Servers Alive version 6.1.2247. This alert is specifically for checking our company website (which is hosted externally). What other information do you need? You may have to walk me though getting what you need as I’m not really familiar with the product.

And what exact version/build of SA are you using? dirk From: Servers Alive Discussion List [mailto:sal...@woodstone.nu] On Behalf Of Laatz, Anthony Sent: Tuesday, December 08, 2009 3:56 PM To: Servers Alive Discussion List Subject: [SA-list] Application - False Positives I’ve noticed more recently that we are starting to get a lot of false positives when SA is checking to see if an application is running. We have SA checking every 2 minutes during the day and every 3 overnight and weekend. It was checking every minute on off hours but we had 12 hours of false positives flood us this past weekend. I have increased the timeout for the application check to 30 seconds, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. I also configured SA to not report an application down until two checks in a row fail. Does anyone have any ideas on how to reduce or eliminate the number of false positives?
