I setup a Windows service monitor on a windows service. All that I need to monitor is up down. The monitor is working great, however the alerting is working too good. The service, when it has issues goes up and down so fast that we just get flooded with alerts. What is the best was to overcome all of the alerts?

For Windows service monitor, it will fire alert when the service is down and the alert is closed when it resume normal. In your case, the service goes up and down, you will see the scom alert is open and close. If you has a email notification, you will flood with email alert. For later case, email notification floor with email alert, you can modify alert aging in subscription for delay sending notifications if conditions remain unchanged for longer than (in minutes)

Hi There,

I don't see there is any option for this as the alerting comes when the service is down, So i would suggest you to see if you have checked the option for the alert to auto resolve if the alert goes to a healthy state so this will not flood your console if the health state goes healthy.

you can a subscription to delay sending the alerts and only send after a period of time defined by you.
