In ipMonitor version 8 and earlier, I was able to configure event log monitors to send an alert only if it saw x number of entries that matched the search criteria. Essentially, if our web app threw one error, we'll review it in the morning. If it throws 5,10 or continuous errors in the event log, I want to send an email to the on-call phone.
I'm at a new position now and have installed a trial copy of ipMonitor 9 and am trying to configure the event log monitor to do the same thing. I works in finding the pattern but sends an email after only 1 event even though I have "Accumulated Failures per Alert" set to 5. In addition, while it sends an email, the monitor is never "down". I recall in earlier versions, the monitor would be down until the next test, say 5 minutes later.
- Can the new version do what I'm asking?
- Is there a setting I'm missing?
