Alert based on total time bandwidth threshold was exceeded over period of time

Votes:

0

I'm curious if there's a way to generate an alert based the total amount of time a bandwidth sensor has exceeded the configured threshold value over specified period of time. I know how to make an alert if 100Mbps+ of bandwidth is used continuously for an hour, but what we are looking for is how to alert if there is a combined 1 hour of time where 100Mbps+ of bandwidth was used during the past 24 hours?

Hello there,

I'm afraid this is not possible in default. A workaround would be to define a notification template which executes a HTTP action and modifies another sensor(e.g. Green IT sensor). This new sensor you could modify to state "Error" and define a notification that after an amount of time (e.g. 24 hours) it will notify you (e.g. via e-mail).

For more detailed information about custom notifications, please take a look here.


Kind regards
