Alert Filter Name
In OpenManage Essentials, you use alert filters that are associated with alert actions to implement alerting
capabilities. For example:
• You can create alert action associations to trigger actions, such as sending e-mails, when an alert
condition is met.
• You can create ignore, exclude, or both associations to ignore SNMP traps and CIM indications when
they are received. You use these associations to suppress alert floods.
• You can create alert view filters to customize the Alert Logs view.
For more information about creating alert action associations, see Managing Alerts.
Use this window to perform the following tasks:
• Create new alert action associations, ignore/exclude filters, and alert view associations.
• View summary information for alert action associations, ignore/exclude associations, and alert view
filters.
• Edit, delete, rename, and copy alert action associations, ignore/exclude associations, and alert view
filters.
