I am using SNPP to notify support personnel when a system's checks fail.
I am going to build another SA system for a new facility with a dedicated paging server.
The catch is that the new configuration won't have the SA system separated from the paging server by the LAN, they will be attached with a crossover Ethernet cable on second NIC ports so the pages should never fail.
So here's my question…
What if all LAN based checks fail (ping, NT services, etc.)? (i.e. because the SA host's primary nic / cable / switch port fails) The redundant network connection to the paging server will likely ensure that everyone will be paged because everything is down.
Can I tune something in SA to not take action or take a custom action if say 30% or more of the checks fail? ( I would rather send one page to myself saying … "Hey, most of the checks have failed. The ServersAlive host may be wigging out!" )
Thanks in advance!
Robert
