Alert Settings option
Provides options used to configure how NetBotz Appliances report alarm conditions.
NetBotz Appliance Alert Notifications overview
The NetBotz Appliances monitored by the StruxureWare Central server each generate their
own alert notifications in response to alert threshold violations that occur at the devices they
monitor.
The NetBotz appliance stores its threshold settings and sends alert notifications to the
StruxureWare Central server. The Alert Settings options in the NetBotz Appliance
Configuration option of the Device menu define how notifications are performed.
•
Alert Actions: Used to create, edit, or delete the alert actions which define how users
will be notified of alarm conditions.
Note: You must create at least one alert action before your NetBotz Appliance can
generate alert notifications.
•
Alert Profiles: Used to create, edit, or delete alert profiles that define the notification
sequences to occur when a threshold is triggered.
Note: You must edit the default profiles, or add new profiles, to include one or more
alert actions before your NetBotz Appliance can generate alert notifications.
•
Alert Thresholds: Used to define threshold settings that the NetBotz Appliances will
use to monitor sensor values.
Alert Actions option
This option accesses the "Alert Actions" wizard used to create and edit the actions that can
be included in the alert profiles used with alert notifications for monitored NetBotz
Appliances.
The alert notifications can alert you, or other members of your organization, when a sensor
threshold violation, or other alarm condition, occurs at a monitored NetBotz Appliance.
Note: A default alert profile exists for notifications associated with each NetBotz Appliance.
You can create multiple versions of the alert actions, each with unique settings, such as
which severities apply to the alert action.
Alert actions management
You can use the "Alert Actions" wizard to create, modify, or delete the alert actions used in
alert profiles as part of the alert notifications used only by monitored NetBotz Appliances.
Creating an alert action
You must create at least one alert action before your NetBotz Appliance can generate alert
notifications.
