7.4.1.2 How to Set Up Alerts
The procedure for adding an object to be measured in Alert view is similar to the Chart view function, but you also have to complete the Alert If field. The steps are as follows:
1.Choose an object to measure.
2.Choose the counter to measure.
3.Choose the instance of the object to measure.
4.Supply a numeric value in the Alert If field (see Figure 101 on page 125). This value is the threshold upon which the alert will be generated when the object measured reaches it.
5.You can supply an optional program or batch file name in the Run Program on Alert field (see Figure 101 on page 125). This program or batch file will be triggered once the threshold value is reached.
