Alert Templates
Alert templates are an easy way to apply alert settings to multiple
devices at one time or to new devices as they are discovered. An
alert template specifies how alerts are delivered from the devices
to an administrator. This delivery method can be sent through
SNMP to a monitoring agent, email sent to a valid email address,
or visible from the Alerts widget on the main Dashboard in n-
Command MSP.
To create an alert template:
1. Select Alert Templates from the Open Tab menu.
2. Enter a name for the template in the field provided and
select Add.
3. Select the delivery method for each alert in the columns to
the right under the Alerts heading. E-mail must be selected
in combination with either SNMP or Widget; it cannot be
selected alone. To check one delivery method for all alerts,
select the check box in the column heading. This will check
all the boxes below it for all alerts. Selecting E-mail
requires additional settings under the Email Settings
heading.
Before alerts can be sent through SNMP, SNMP must be configured in
Settings > SNMP. Refer to SNMP Settings
for more information.
Before alerts can be sent through email, email must be configured in
Settings > Connection. Refer to Connection Settings
for more
information.
4. Specify the threshold for any alerts requiring limits. For
example, Low Available CFlash defaults to < 10%. This
can be adjusted using the up and down arrows in the
Limits column or typing in a number to specify a value
other than 10.
5. If E-mail is selected as a delivery option for alerts, you must
also indicate the Email Notification List to use. From the
Email Settings section of the Alert Templates, select an
