Alert System

The alert system provides the following features:

●Generates alerts, displaying them locally and/or forward them via email messages.

●Alerts are set and cleared by the daemons that own them. Active alerts are locally displayed and can be cleared manually.

●Multiple forwarders can be configured, a configurable filter level controls alert forwarding to each forwarder.

●By configuring different forwarders, low severity and high severity control centers can be set up.

Each alert is mapped to an alert definition entry, which is predefined by a daemon who owns the alert or by a user. All alert definition entries are configurable by user.

An alert filter is a user defined configuration to define the forwarders destination of active alerts. Any active alerts with Renotify Interval set to non-zero value and matches with the filter level will be forwarded to the defined forwarder destination.
