Alerting

Down Server Interface Alert

Hey guys,
Trying to set up an alert that will send an email when an interface goes down but does not come up within a certain timeframe. I'm assuming 10-15 minutes should suffice. We're having an issue when running updates or rebooting a server, the interface does not come up properly sometimes.

This was a test run of what the logs would look like searching for USPK10OLLBS01 and /Common/tcp:

I'm pretty bad with the searching logic so I could really use some help! Thanks much, these are the logs i'm working with below during a test down state on one of the interfaces. It reports a couple ups, but only one down.

Try something like this (assuming host name is NOT extracted. Remove the first regex for host if its extracted)

your base search  | rex "(?<HostName>\w+)\snotice.*was down for (?<hour>\d+)hrs\:(?<minute>\d+)mins\:(?<second>\d+)sec\s*\]" | eval Downtime=round((hour*3600 + minute*60 + second)/60,2)  | where Downtime>15

You can schedule this search and setup alert.
