can anyone share how to set up their alerting from an email perspective? we have a small IT shop with about 10 people, of which different groupings of those 10 people get different kinds of alerts from SCOM, depending on the alert. A server
reboot might go to the five people, and a client reboot might go to three other people. A high memory/cpu alert might go to 7 people. And so on... I need a good way to simplify how i assign those alerts to those people's mailboxes.
I was thinking of just creating multiple distribution groups, one per alert type (e.g. alerts_serverreboot; alerts_clientreboot; alerts_highCPUMEM; etc.). But i could also create generic groups (e.g. alertsA; alertsB; alertsC) and re-use those across
all the various alerts. I'm interested in others approaches. Do you use distribution groups for various alerts? Do you have a bunch of different alert groups, or just a few that get re-used across multiple alert categories? What naming conventions
do you use? What are the properties of your distribution groups (e.g. dynamic? static? open/closed? etc?) Any other advice you could share about making this easy? (And i have other systems that monitor things outside of SCOM as well so i'm
also interested in how you setup those groups and use them). Thanks in advance!
