Adding an alert policy
Follow the screens of the Alert Policy Wizard to define an alert policy. The required information and the required number of screens vary depending on the alert condition you choose. For some alert conditions, you can skip the optional screens.
Note:
The Alert Policy Wizard is also used when you edit an alert policy.
To add an alert policy
- In the OpsCenter console, select Manage > Alert Policies.
- Click Add. The Alert Policy Wizard appears.
See Alert Policy Wizard.
- Enter a Name, Description, and Alert Condition on the General panel.
See OpsCenter Alert conditions.
Click Next to continue. You may click Cancel to exit the wizard at any stage.
- On the Alert Condition Properties panel, specify attributes for the alert condition that you selected. The attributes differ for each alert condition. For many alert conditions (for example, for the Job Finalized condition), you may need to enter threshold attributes and other required or optional attributes. These attributes define and limit the alert.
Click Next.
- On the Scope panel, select the view that should be verified for the alert condition from the drop-down menu.
You can select a view and a node that contains a group of master servers and also specific objects. You may also select only specific objects of a particular view or node to be checked for the alert condition. To select a specific object like a master server, first deselect the view or node that contains the master server and then select the master server. You may also deselect a specific master server from a view by selecting the view and then deselecting the specific master server.
See Alert Policy Wizard.
You must select at least one object or node for a view from this page. Click Next to continue.
- Optionally, on the Actions panel, in the Email Recipients and Trap Recipients sections, you can select email or SNMP recipients (or both) to receive the alert notification.
See Adding SNMP trap recipients.
Note that if you create an alert policy and do not define any recipients, the alert is still displayed in the Monitor > Alerts view.
- Optionally on the Actions panel, do the following in the Severity section:
Select a severity level from the Alert Severity drop-down list. (If this alert occurs, the alert is displayed in the Monitor > Alerts view.)
Select an appropriate severity level from the Severity of email/trap sent for cleared alert drop-down list. With Severity of email/trap sent for cleared alert option, you can configure the severity for an email or trap that is sent when an alert is cleared. The default severity level is Informational.
The Activate Condition option is checked by default. By default, the policy is active once you create it. Deselect the Activate Condition option if you want to deactivate the policy.
You can always activate or deactivate the policy later from the OpsCenter console.
See Managing an alert policy .
- Click Save to save the alert policy.
- Click Finish once the policy is successfully created.
