I have set up an application monitor to watch for Acrobat Reader, and if it's CPU usage stays above 18% for more than 10 minutes, to set an orion alert and to send an e-mail out detailing what server it's happening on, and when the problem is gone, it sends out an all clear e-mail. This is working fine. The only thing I'd like to see different about it is to only report on it if it's there and if there's a problem in the Solarwinds Console. Right now, if it's not there, it shows as down - Is there some way that I missed to set it up so that if it's not there, it will either simply not report anything, or maybe unavailable, and only report an error if the problem is present? Obviously, I don't care if Acrobat Reader isn't running at all, and I really don't care if it's running and behaving - I only care if it's running and is constantly using pretty much any measurable CPU resources.
