I basically want to send either targeted alerts or all alerts from my solarwinds installation to a 3rd party manager, specifically BMC Impact Manager. However what I am finding on the solarwinds side is that I have to set up very specific almost by monitored component alerts and individually send those via execute program, sending them to a perl script which formats them a bit based on arguments passed in before sending to BIM via msend. The problem with this is I only get the alerts that I have configured via Alert Manager, and there seems to be so much more out there in SW that I dont know about that I may want to alert on. It is also very tedious to setup every single alert as its own alert in alert manager. So the question is am I going about this the wrong way? Is there an easier way to send a broad spectum of possible alerts from solarwinds to BIM without having to define each and every alert in the solarwinds advanced alert manager.
