APC NBRK0450, NBRK0550, NBRK0570 manual Default alert profile, Creating or editing an alert profile

Default alert profile

Your appliance comes pre-configured with a default alert profile. The default policy features the following four pre-configured Alert Sequences which are active 24 hours a day, 7 days a week:

•Alert Level 1: Begins immediately after an alert condition occurs (Start Value of 0) and repeats two times at 5 minute intervals. It initiates the Primary E-Mail Notification, and Short Message E-Mail alert actions.

•Alert Level 2: Begins 20 minutes after an alert condition occurs and repeats one time at a 10 minute interval. It initiates the Secondary E-Mail Notification and Short Message E-Mail alert actions.

•Alert Level 3: Begins 90 minutes after an alert condition occurs and repeats two times at 60 minute intervals. It initiates the Primary E-Mail Notification, Secondary E-Mail Notification, and Short Message E-Mail alert actions.

•Continuous Alert: Begins immediately after an alert condition occurs (Start Value of 0) and repeats indefinitely at one minute intervals. It initiates the Send SNMP Trap alert action.

Note: Pre-defined alert actions or individual sensor thresholds may require additional information such as e-mail addresses, server IP addresses, output devices, etc., for notifications to be delivered. Be sure to properly configure alert actions and thresholds used in your Alert Profile.

The default alert profile can be edited but not removed. When sensor thresholds are created, the default alert profile is used unless you use advanced threshold settings to specify otherwise. You can also create additional Alert Profiles.
