Triggers and Alarms Mode
Lets you set triggers in response to particular network conditions, and define actions
to occur when the conditions are met.

Statistics->Triggers and Alarms
Purpose
Observer’s Triggers and Alarms mode allows you to set a trigger for a particular
network activity (using presets or defining your own) and to associate an action
condition when the triggered condition is present. Multiple triggers can be set and run
concurrently.
Actions can be pop-up windows, printed trouble tickets, or appended information to
an event log. Triggers can also be set to execute a user-defined program—such as an
email package or paging software.
Triggers and Alarms is available in List View.
