HP Web Jetadmin - Using Proactive Alerts with HP Web Jetadmin

Right-click to start the Edit Subscription or Unsubscribe wizard, described below:

 The Edit Subscription wizard: Similar to the Create Subscription wizard, the Edit Subscription

wizard allows changes in existing Notification Settings, Email recipients and formats, Available

Alerts selections, Advanced Settings, and the Subscription Name. This wizard only modifies the

subscription as it pertains to the device selection and requires that the Subscription Name be

changed.

 The Unsubscribe wizard: Launches a Delete Alerts Subscription > Confirmation dialogue. Once

Next is selected, subscriptions are deleted based on either the subscription or device selection.

ALERTS TEMPLATES

Alerts Templates, like other HP Web Jetadmin templates, store settings to be reused. A default Alerts

Template is preconfigured when HP Web Jetadmin is installed and contains a combination of

Supplies, Service, and Media Path-categorized General Alert events.

Creating and editing alerts templates

The Create Alerts Template tool is very similar to Create Alerts Subscription. When creating an alert

template, the user configures the following:

 Subscription type: General, Supplies, or Critical

 Notification type: Logging-only or Email

 Email notification settings (when selected): Email Send-to recipients, and Email format

 Available Alerts: shows all available based on subscription type

 Advanced Settings (when selected): Ignore first occurrence, Threshold setting, Ignore duplicate as

they apply to selected Alerts

 Template name

You can change template settings for any subscription linked to a template from the Edit Subscription

Template. Apply, View, and Delete controls help manage Alerts Templates, and are available from

the navigation tree Alerts > Templates (see Figure 13, below).

Apply alerts templates

You can start the Apply Alerts Templates wizard in a variety of ways, including right-click and

drag-and-drop from any device list. The apply-template action applies the stored alerts settings to

selected devices. The Apply Subscription Template wizard requires link options selection.

Linked vs. unlinked

subscriptions

There are two ways of applying

alerts templates (see Figure 14, at

right).
