more than the Maximum Decrease value in a period of time that is equal to or less than the Time

Period value an alert condition is generated.

c. Check the Enabled check box to enable the threshold. If this check box is not checked, the alert

threshold will be saved but will not be active.

d. Add to the Threshold-Specific Addresses list the e-mail addresses of any personnel to whom e-

mail alert notifications should be sent if this threshold triggers an alert condition. Click Add...,

type in the e-mail address to which the alert notification will be sent, and then click OK.

If you’ve installed an SMS-capable modem you can deliver alert notification to SMS-enabled

devices by entering threshold-specific addresses for them in the following format:

sms:sms_device_address

where sms_device_address is the telephone number or e-mail address associated with the SMS-

enabled device (for example, “sms:5123334444” or “sms:[email protected]”).

7. If desired, specify Advanced Threshold settings. All Advanced threshold settings are optional. From

the Advanced tab in the Thresholds pane:

– Specify a Return To Normal Delay value. Use the controls to specify the number of seconds

that must pass after this threshold has returned to normal before the threshold state is considered

returned to normal. Default value is 0 (state returns to normal immediately after the measured

value is no longer violating the threshold).

– Set an Advanced Schedule for this threshold (optional). By default, all thresholds are assumed to

be enabled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, you can specify that a threshold will be

enabled only during specific time ranges. To set an Advanced Schedule:

a.Click Advanced Schedule.... The Schedule Threshold window opens.

b.By default, all time periods in the schedule are set to Enabled. To disable the threshold for a

currently enabled period of time, highlight the period of time by clicking-and-dragging over the

desired time range, and then click Disable. To enable the threshold for a currently disabled

period of time, highlight the period of time by clicking-and-dragging over the desired time

range, and then click Enable.

c.When you have finished creating your Advanced Threshold, click OK to save the schedule and

return to the Thresholds task.

– Select an Alert Severity value for this threshold. Available Alert Severities are, in order of

escalating severity: Information, Warning, Error, Critical, or Failure. By default, the Alert

Severity generated by this threshold will be “Error.”

–Specify the Alert Profile that will be used to determine what alert notification actions will be

taken in response to this threshold. By default, the Default Alert Profile is used for all thresholds.

Note

These threshold-specific notifications are sent only if your appliance has one or

more Alert Actions defined that use the Send E-Mail Message alert notification

method and that have the Include Addresses from Thresholds check box

checked. For more information, see “Alert Actions” on page 59 and “Advanced

View: Creating Alert Actions” on page 161.
