Setting up Alert Controllers

To set up Alert Controllers go to the Configure Alarms page in the Admin section. This will give you the following options

SNMP Notification Alerts

Service List Alerts

Response Time Alerts

Status Change Alerts

Utilisation Alerts

The options within each alert controller are always the same. An alert will be handled by one alert controller, depending on the type of alert indicated by its name. Within the alert controller configuration, you can set one or both of the two options:

Email Recipient

This allows you to set up a number of email recipients, specifying the SMTP server to use. If you only have one SMTP server, it makes sense to set the default server in the System Settings page in the Admin section. If you don’t specify an SMTP server in the alert controller configuration, this default server will be used. Enter as many email addresses as required.

Syslog Recipient

This sends the alert to a specified address using the Syslog protocol. You can specify one or more IP addresses to which the messages will be sent.
