email alerts when servers restart - HP Insight

[Snow-Munki]

Hi,

Currently we have HP Insight which monitors all our physical servers which is fine. And every night we set it so all our Citrix server reboot.

This means every night we get about 30 emails coming in which we have to then delete but there's always the risk we delete an important email inbetween.

I know I can setup a rule in Outlook to move these somewhere but ....

... Just wondering if there is some way to stop these emails and say only get an email when the server ' doesn't ' restart.

Hope that makes sense, assuming we'd need a proper expensive monitoring system to do this ?

ahh cool, thanks for not. Not expecting too much just interested really

thanks, and understand what you've said ... but... as I know my boos will ask me this...

What if the server does not restart for whatever reason, we would never know. So it could be weeks and we find out the uptime is 'x' number of days / hours.

Suppose I could run a batch file systems uptime thingy to cross reference but it would jsut be yet another thing to check ?
