Email Alert when device is seen online

[arupert]

MY WISH:

Ability to setup an email alert when a particular offline device comes back online. Would be a HUGE time saver for us.

thanks

In addition to ufficioced, you can use LsPush with a scheduled task as explained here: https://www.lansweeper.com/kb/273/how-to-scan-windows-computers-with-the-lspush-scanning-agent-in-a-scheduled-task.html

You can pair this with an event alert, which sends you an alert as soon as an event you specify on a device you specify is scanned. This will give you an alert ASAP. More information about event alerts can be found in this knowledgebase article: https://www.lansweeper.com/kb/113/sending-email-alerts.html

If you are talking about windows PC in an Active Directory environment I think you can solve this with an automatic login/startup script.

If you are talking about a generic peripheral I think the only solution is to develop a scheduled network scan, activate an alert when matching the right IP.

Bruce,

Thank you. Although this is helpful, we have a very limited time to catch some devices when online (a couple hours). Would really like to see an option for an email alert sent for a device when a successful scan takes place.

If you're looking to get alerted when 1 specific device comes online you could use the report below and set up an email alert for it. Email alerts will only be sent if the linked report has a result and this report will only have a result if the asset was successfully scanned in the last 24 hours (and was thus online). Replace the highlighted text with the exact name of the asset you want to be alerted for.

Instructions for adding this report to your Lansweeper installation can be found here.

Select Top 1000000 tblAssets.AssetID,
tblAssets.AssetName,
tblAssets.Domain,
tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypename,
tsysAssetTypes.AssetTypeIcon10 As icon,
tblAssets.IPAddress,
tblAssets.Lastseen
From tblAssets
Inner Join tblAssetCustom On tblAssets.AssetID = tblAssetCustom.AssetID
Inner Join tsysAssetTypes On tsysAssetTypes.AssetType = tblAssets.Assettype
Where tblAssets.AssetName = 'Asset' And tblAssets.Lastseen > GetDate() - 1 And
tblAssetCustom.State = 1
