OpenManage Essentials System Up/Down Messages
Hi everyone, thanks for any help first of all. I decided to give OME a try and so far it is working great for us.
We have one issue that I was hoping there was a solution for. We have a few branch office servers in Germany, Italy, and Japan. Sometimes our connection to those servers isn't the best and we are disconnected briefly. What I'll see is a message that the server is down and then another message about 30 seconds later that the server is up.
Is there any way to set a slight lag on the messages, for example, if the software is unable to reach the server for 1 minute then trigger the alert?
Thanks again
Mike

Mike,
You can extend the parameter of the alert. You will need to go to the Discovery Range Configuration and then select Include Range, then right click on the Range to edit the settings. You will need to configure the Timeouts and Retries on both the ICMP and SNMP page. SNMP is most important as the discovery is already complete.
Let me know how it goes.

Thanks much, I'll give the snmp timeout and retry settings a go. I was only able to set the timeout to a max of 15 seconds but I set retry to 4... I'll report back. I'm guessing that this will do the trick.
Thanks again.

It's been a day and a half and no false positives so thanks much for the help.
