Creating Alert Action Filters and Alert Actions for
Jane’s Small-to-Medium Size Business
Jane creates an Alert Action Filter in IT Assistant by specifying a set of
conditions. When tied to an Alert Action, IT Assistant will automatically
execute whatever action Jane has defined.
IT Assistant has three types of Alert filters:
• Alert Action Filters – used to trigger actions when an alert condition is met
•
Ignore/Exclude Filters – used to ignore SNMP traps and CIM indications
when they are received.
•
Alert View Filters – used to customize the Alert Log view
