I think I managed to stumble along and get an Offline notification setup however either the Comodo version of the Itarian product is different or the howto is a bit out of date.
Hello @terry.r
This specific thread for monitoring offline/online status of a device is outdated as this one is referring to a deprecated method in the Endpoint Manager (EM, formerly ITSM) server. Take note also that the screenshots are for an older version of the C1 platform (no ‘Monitors’ subsection under CONFIGURATION TEMPLATES.) There was an issue with the ‘method’ at that time which led to the product development team to perform an overhaul of the ‘offline/online monitoring’ architecture.
How can be be notified when a server comes back online?
Often it is an internet outage that could last from a few minutes to a few days, whilst the server is still “up” it is not “online”.
Having a notification would save having to waste time chasing an alert Everytime there is a temporary Internet outage.
Hopefully its simple to send one alert “Back Online” after a brief outage.
You can arrange a monitor with the condition “Device Online”. You can also set it to send you a notification.
