Alerts - Summary

Monitor > Alerts

  • Select Summary from the Select Alert Function drop-down list

The Alerts - Summary page shows what alerts are enabled for each machine. You can apply or clear settings or copy enabled alerts settings. Specifically you can:

  • Apply or clear settings for alarm, ticket and email notification for all enabled alert types at one time on selected machines.
  • Copy enabled alert settings from a selected machine ID or machine ID template and apply them to multiple machine IDs.

Note: You can only modify or clear alerts initially enabled using the Copy option or else by using the other alerts pages.

Although you can not assign or scripts using this page, script assignments are displayed in the paging area.

Apply

Click Apply to apply alert parameters to selected machine IDs. Confirm the information has been applied correctly in the machine ID list.

Clear

Click Clear to remove all parameter settings from selected machine IDs.

Create Alarm

If checked and an alarm condition is encountered, an alarm is created. Alarms are displayed in Monitor > Dashboard List, Monitor > Alarm Summary and Reports > Logs > Alarm Log.

Create Ticket

If checked and an alarm condition is encountered, a ticket is created.

Email Recipients

If checked and an alarm condition is encountered, an email is sent to the specified email addresses.

  • The email address of the currently logged in administrator displays in this field. It defaults from System > Preferences.
  • If the Add to current list radio option is selected, when Apply is clicked alert settings are applied and the specified email addresses are added to selected machine IDs without removing previously assigned email addresses.
  • If the Replace list radio option is selected, when Apply is clicked alert settings are applied and the specified email addresses replace the existing email addresses assigned to machine IDs.
  • If Removed is clicked, all email addresses are removed from selected machine IDs without modifying any alert parameters.
  • Email is sent directly from the KServer to the email address specified in the alert. The SMTP service in IIS sends the email directly to the address specified. Set the From Address using System > Configure.
