We monitor all switches, routers and wireless devices. Basic monitoring consists of up/down status. As mentioned groups can reduce the amount of emails we get for 1 particular event. From there, I have to fine tune the alerts. Sometimes it's a case of something happend, but I was not alerted. Other times, I can see the need to be alerted for a particular event. Solarwinds keeps expanding what we can alert on making life much easier. For example, temp monitoring used to be done either via syslogs or custom pollers, but now it is built in. Every now and then I go through the alerts and clean them out just so it is easier to see what is being alerted on.
