Specifying where to initiate notifications

You can send notifications from the local machine on which the alerts occur or you can send notifications from a notification server. This setting is stored in the rule alertSystem and can be specific for each PATROL object. For example, you could send notifications locally for one parameter, while for another parameter you could forward the event to a notification server and configure the notification server to send the notification message.

To specify where to initiate notifications

  1. For the agent that you want to configure, access the KM menu commands as described in Accessing KM Menu Commands.
  2. Choose the KM menu command Event Management > Alert Settings > Notification System.
  3. Select the PATROL object (application, class, and parameter) that you want to configure. To configure all PATROL objects, select Set for Classes and then select /.
  4. Select the appropriate alert option, described in SET EVENT MANAGEMENT VARIABLE: alertSystem dialog box.
  5. To save your changes, click Accept.
