Alert on nothing being found

[Dnet8]

Hi,

When I create a new alert from the Dashboard this tooltip instructs me to use 0 for warning and critical thresholds to "alert on nothing being found"



However, when I run the alert it doesn't work as expected:


I have poked around the internet and these forums to no avail. Can anyone help?

What Logserver version is this?

2015R1.3

This is interesting - I am running the latest development release of Nagios Log Server and do not have the tooltip that you have next to thresholds. In any case, alerting on 0 does not currently function, and our developers are aware of this. Is there something specific you are trying to do that we could help you out with?

[Dnet8]

The tool tip appears only when I try to create an alert from the dashboard. If I first go to the Alert section and create it from there, or edit an existing alert the tool tip is nowhere to be seen.

Ok, so Its coming? I a simply trying to get an alert when no "db-backup completed" entries have been logged in the last hour.

What is your Check Interval set to?

I have filed a bug report regarding this issue, thank you for the report!

[Dnet8]

Great!

Did you file a bug report for the missing notifications, or the rouge tooltip?

Interval and depth is set to 60m.

The bug report I have filed covers both the missing notification when thresholds are set to 0, as well as the rogue tooltip.

Wohoo!

I can confirm that in 2015R1.4 "altert on nothing being found" works with "1:,1:" as criteria

Now maybe I can convince my manager to buy this sexy system

Thanks!
