Description

  • Is it possible to generate a ticket/notified when a Monitoring Service transitions into the disconnected state

Environment

  • N-able N-central All Versions

Solution

  • Currently there is no way to trigger notification / ticket for when the service goes into the Disconnected state
  • This is due to Disconnected being a valid state that we expect.
  • Notification / tickets can only be triggered by the following states:
    • Normal
    • Warning
    • Failed
    • Misconfigured
    • Stale
  • As a workaround you could stop the disconnected state occurring by doing the following:
  1. For the device in question, navigate to Settings > Monitoring Options
  2. Disable the option for 'Unscheduled Downtime'
  3. Select Save
    • NOTE: This is device specific but may be done on mass in All Devices > Edit view as well
