  • 1.  Bulk alert configuration in community edition

    Posted Sep 15, 2009 01:02 PM
    Is there any way to configure alerting in the community edition for a group of servers at once? So far I've only been able to set up email alerts on one server and service at a time. I've got 100 servers to set this up for and I'd like to avoid doing this manually for each one.

    Anyone figure this out?

    Maybe a groovy script?

    I am interested in this as well.

    I just loaded the HQU Plugin "Admin Helper", and it seems to do this fairly well.

    One thing I have noticed though, is that it doesn't recognize all of the "compatible resources" that it should in the "Compatible Resources Table". For example, I created a "drive space less than 10% free" alert on a server. All of my servers have drives, so they all should show up as compatible resources, but they do not. Not sure why this is the case, but this tool is helpful anyway.
