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.
