That sounds great! I don't really see the inability to set a TO/FROM per check as a problem because I would expect that most installations have one person that is ultimately responsible for maintaining SA.

This would then go over ALL then entries and send out an alert for those that are more then ... (hours) down/maintenance/..... We could then go over those generic alerts after each cycle. That way if an entry is more then 15 hours in maintenance (example!) you could send out an alert to someone. Only point is that is would be generic, so the TO/MESSAGE/... and rules can't be define per entry. But as said "it made me think of this"...it's something that has to be re-checked before starting on some implementation (so no this will NOT be in v5.0) Dirk. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alistair Francis Sent: Friday, October 15, 2004 10:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SA-list] Depends on Ah Dirk, you're a scholar and a gentleman :) Alistair Francis Systems Administrator Comm Express Services SA (PTY) LTD TEL: +27 (0)11 475-5567 FAX: +27 (0)11 475-6238 CELL: +27 (0)82 608-0181 The information contained in this electronic mail message is confidential to the Matragon group of companies and may enjoy legal privilege.

Also in v5 you can have an overview alert, this will be send OR after each cycle OR at a specific time of day, this overview can (this is an option!) include the maintenance entries too.

What about the facility to gen an alert if a check is in maintenance mode? I'm thinking along the lines of, you have a check on something with 20 dependecies and sub dependencies. Some wally decides he needs to do something on the target of the top level check so he sets it to maintenance. He then does his thing and forgets to set it back to active. In this scenario it would be useful to have some kind of alert generated to say that the status is UNAVAILABLE due to the check being in MAINTENANCE mode. Obviously this would need to be an optional thing. What do you guys think?

I guess that reporting something in MAINT instead of DOWN might make a big difference in reporting statistics....
