Create Alert Subscription Templates

Alert templates are used to store settings to be reused again. When an Alert Subscription Template is applied to a device as a ‘Linked Subscription’, the subscription will be altered if the associated template is changed. A default Alerts Subscription Template is pre-configured when HP Web Jetadmin is installed and contains a combination of Supplies, Service and Media Path Alerts.

To create alert subscription templates, perform the following steps:

1.In the Device Management navigation pane, right-click Alerts, and then select Create subscription template. The Create Alert Subscription Template wizard starts.

2.Specify the alert settings:

●General alerts (detailed): Select non-supply device events and rely on traps. Polling is established when traps destinations cannot be configured.

●Supplies alerts: Monitor selected device supply status and levels through polling. The polling mechanism uses a combination of slow-polling and sliding time interval depending on the level of the supply being monitored.

●Critical alerts: Monitor selected events by polling every five minutes. The polling interval is configurable within the range of 5 to 360 minutes. Because of the frequent polling nature of this solution, it is important to use it sparingly and only for devices that need immediate attention. All General Alerts are available. This and other polling rates are adjustable.

3.Click Next. If you chose:

●General alerts (detailed) or Critical alerts:

◦The Select alerts page is displayed. Select the supply alerts you want to monitor.

◦Click Next. The Specify advanced settings page is displayed. Select the advanced settings (the ones displayed are dependent on the alerts selected on the previous page):

No advanced settings: Select this option if you do not want to configure any advanced settings.

Time to ignore duplicate alerts: When enabled, this value keeps HP Web Jetadmin from sending duplicate Alerts within the time specified. This setting is specific to the Subscription being edited or created.

Ignore duplicates for: Specify the amount of time that should elapse before HP Web Jetadmin should post an alert to email or to Alerts History.
