Hi,
My scenario is that I have a series of servers (16) that I would like to trigger an alert when a certain percentage of them alert for their CPU usage. In this case they are Red Hat servers and I would like to trigger off of the Total Percent Processor Time monitor. I have that monitor configured properly and it alerts as needed but I would like to only trigger an email alert if half of them or greater are in an error state. I have been trying to use the SLA piece as well as distributed application but don't seem to be having any luck. Since that alert drives the overall state of the server I seem to be able to trigger off of that but doing it that way could cause false alerts if some other issue causes a large number of the servers to change into an error state.
Am I missing something or is this not possible?
Thanks,
Jon
