Title: Logging on Status Change
Hi,
I have a requirement and I know SA can do it but just could not get it to work.
I would like to the events to be logged when there is a status change.
There is an option in SA that is called Syslog, in the logging option. I have installed the Kiwi Sys
Ok, seems like I got it working finally.
I had to change both to the IP address, apply, ok, exit Servers Alive.
Go back into Servers Alive, and the test messages worked without a problem.
Changed the IP addresses back to the DNS names, Apply, Ok, exited Servers

I've been looking at the log, and I'm wondering if I might've left out a key
piece of information. After you gave me the tip about changing the alert to
only send after multiple, consecutive 'down' events, I've gotten far fewer

On this particular check it turned out we had a standard alert (when

As usual Dirk you're correct. I found a stray alert entry that may be

Is it a "Down" alert or an "Up" alert? When "and when backup too" is
checked SA will send an up alert every time the threshold is crossed
even if it does not send a down alert because it hasn't reached the
consecutive cycles limit. I see this a bit with one of our machines. I

Little remark, not all process checks are failing in the logfile you
send.

good point.. but, I can't very well do that as my check cycle goes for
about 2 minutes I'd think...
the best I can do is speed up my "off-hours" checking to every 1 minute
to match my on-hours checking...
we'll see...

Hi Brent,
I've got a question.. I'm trying to use your sample for the Drilldown
menus... The template references a file called OneGroup.ASP... But I'm
not sure what that is... and for some reason, the page that's generated
from the drilldown sample template has the groups expanded by default..
Is that the uptime of the SA machine or of the machine you're monitoring?
Can you still "see" services and check them?
