"Test Action" display

Use this display to test an alert action after it is created or modified.

Note: You need to verify the test was successful: the display does not report test failures.

For example, for Send SNMPv1 Trap, verity the trap was received at the trap receiver, or

for Send E-mail, verify the e-mail was received.

"Choose Next Action" display

Use this display to choose whether you want to use the "Alert Actions" wizard to create,

modify, or delete another alert action, access the "Alert Profiles" wizard to manage alert

profiles, or exit the wizard.

Alert Profiles option

This option accesses the "Alert Profiles" wizard used to create and edit the profiles the

NetBotz Appliances use to generate alert notifications.

A default alert profile exists at each NetBotz Appliance. This default profile cannot be

deleted, but it can be edited and renamed. In addition to the default profile, you can create

your own custom alert profiles at each NetBotz Appliance.

Note: Alert actions, alert profiles, and alert thresholds set on a NetBotz Appliance are

actually stored on, and triggered from, the NetBotz Appliance. This is completely separate

from the alarm actions, thresholds, and notification policies that are created on the

StruxureWare Central server in the Alarm Configuration perspective, and stored on the

StruxureWare Central server.

The following table identifies which alert profiles can be used for which alarms.

Alarm type Profile

Alert threshold violations from NetBotz

Appliances

Any profile defined on the NetBotz

Appliance. Each appliance has its own set

of profiles.

Note: An alert profile must include at least one alert action before it can be used to

generate alert notifications.

Alert profile sequences

An alert profile must have at least one sequence that includes one or more alert actions

defined. When that profile is associated with an alert threshold or other alarm condition, it

is the alert profile sequences, and their associated alert actions, that control what alert

notifications are generated by the NetBotz Appliance in response to alarm conditions.

These sequences identify what will happen in response to an alarm condition, and when it

will happen. For example, for a sequence that will send an e-mail to user 1, you can do the

following:

• Define how many minutes to wait after the alarm occurs before an e-mail is sent to

user 1.
