Hello,
We have created a very basic custom SQL alert to demonstrate the functionality using:
SELECT DISTINCT Nodes.NodeID AS NetObjectID, Nodes.Caption AS Name from Nodes Where Nodes.SLA IS NULL
Executing this in management Studio returns 1 row as we would expect. However when we enable the alert it triggers against all nodes.
We then proceeded to create the alert using the advanced alert manager and checking the SQL in the read only attributes from the web console. The SQL generated was:
SELECT DISTINCT Nodes.NodeID AS NetObjectID, Nodes.Caption AS Name from Nodes Where ((Nodes.SLA IS NULL))
As you can guess we then copied this SQL to the advanced alert manager and updated our custom SQL alert, which once again triggered against all nodes.
Is this an "undocumented feature" or EEBKAC ?
Thanks,
Tony Johnson
