I created a mixed group-- BUt how do I create an alert for cpuusage for the
group.. Im really trying to have members of the group be able to be alerted for individually but an alert for he whole groups is a start .

Hi Mike,

You can only define a group alert for a compatible group, that is a group whose members are all of the same resource type. This is a function of the fact that the members of a mixed groups don't have a common metric template. Is there a reason you've defined a mixed as opposed to a compatible group?

Yes, I had choosen 3 linux and 3 Solaris systems to run a test for.. But I see that
only the same type platform can be used in a group,, AND since Im using the open source , you can create a group(whether compabitable or not) , but there is NO way to create an alert for a group(same platform etc on open source Hyperic.

THanks for answering the question and spending time on it.

the next thing I going to try is create an alert from command line hyperic and push it to all the servers. Dont
know yet how to do that
