Managing Report Criteria
Use the Report Criteria options to manage how frequently messages from the
General Event Log are reported, based on the settings for the Report To options.
The Queue Up and Time Out After options work together. Messages are reported
based on whichever limit is reached first.
Setting Alert Filter Options
Use the Alert Filter options to manage notification severity levels, and to customize
sets of notification messages to be reported for the different Computer Associates
antivirus service components. These options allow you to determine what types of
messages should be passed to the Alert Manager. You can use Notification by Level
of Severity or Custom Notification.
