Before you use the Add Alarm wizard to add a new alarm, you need to gather the information required to complete the wizard.
- Group
- Which group will the alarm be associated with?
- Event or severity
- What do you want to trigger the alarm?
- Decide if a specific event should trigger the alarm and, if so, which event.
- Decide if an event in an event class should trigger the alarm and, if so, which event class. And optionally, decide which severity type within the event class.
- Decide if any event of a specified severity type should trigger the alarm and, if so, which severity type.
- Recipients
- Who or what needs to receive the event notification?
You can specify one or more of the following recipients:
- E-mails: Provide the administrator user names or non-administrator e-mail addresses.
- Pagers: Provide the administrator user names or non-administrator pager e-mail addresses.
- SNMP listener traps: Provide the host and port number of each SNMP trap. Optionally, provide the SNMP community name.
- Script: Provide the name of a script that is executed when an alarm occurs and the user name that runs the script.
- Active range
- When should the event notification be active for the alarm?
- Repeat notification
- Do you want the event notification repeated until the event is acknowledged?
If so, how often do you want the notification to be repeated?
