Alert email is not being triggered; a lot of false positives

psp · Post by **psp** » Wed Jun 04, 2014 3:09 pm

Configured an Alert to send an email if the Total bytes matching a certain criterion exceeds 100 MB (Warning) or 150MB (Critical); An alert email is being sent out every 5 minutes, regardless of whether the configured threshold is crossed or not. This is resulting in a lot of false positives.

How can we get the Alert email to be sent only when configured thresholds are crossed?

Thanks,

PSP

Is your NNA system currently configured with integration for XI?

I believe so. I have installed NRDP on the XI server, and added it on Nagios Network Analyzer (under Alerting -> new Nagios setup section). Is there anything else that needs to be done? Do I have to install NRDP on NNA as well?

Can you log in the Nagios NA, go to Alerting->Checks->View/Edit, and show us a screenshot of the "Step 2 - Select Criteria" page?

Screenshot attached. Please take a look. Thanks.

It looks like your thresholds are a bit off.

100 MB is 100000000 bytes and 150MB is 150000000 bytes assuming 1000 (not 1024) bytes = 1KB.

In your case, you have 5000000 bytes = 5MB and 10000000 bytes = 10MB.
