Enable notification all services

[Naveed]

Hello,

I want to enable Warning and critical alerts of all services by easy way, rather than to be manually update all services one by one.

Configure ==> service name ====> alert settings

As in attached screenshot.

Yes this can be done en masse. Go to Core Config Manager > Tools > Bulk Modifications...

Select 'Change a Single Config Option' and from drop down select 'notification options" - check 'w' and 'c' and proceed accordingly ( I don't know if your services are in groups, etc)

You might also consider creating a Service Template to apply to future Service configurations. Once the template is created, it can be applied to Service configurations via the "Manage Templates" button. Then you don't need to remember to check those boxes every single time; You can just apply the template.

I cant use bulk modification tool.

I have checked it, my mostly services having generic service from manage templates.

How to implement the alerts for all services.

Thank you!

'mcapra's' suggestion is a good one, but since it seems you've configured the existing services one by one, you'll have to edit them one by one as well. The bulk mod tool will still save you time
Config Manager > Tools > Bulk Modifications...

Select 'Change a Single Config Option' and from drop down select 'notification options" - check 'w' and 'c' next to Services and click the box beneath this line, called 'Select Services' - then in the next window simply slide services from left to right you want these changes applied to.

If you are unable to use this feature, you may have the option to enable a 60-day trial. There should be a red banner on that page informing you such, and providing a link to enable the trial. Unfortunately if you have already done so, then you will either need to purchase the Enterprise Edition, or make the changes manually.

Since the current settings on your server are unique and you cannot use the Bulk Modification tool, you will have to edit those checks manually.
Without seeing an example of how a service check is setup on your system, is is difficult to give any details but if you have a service template applied to those services, you could edit that template and that will change all of the configs at once.

Thank you everyone!
