Alert Profile

Use the Alert Profile task to customize alert notification policy used by your devices. You can customize

your device’s default alert notification policy, or create additional alert notification policies to simplify

alert management. You can also use the Alert Profile task to temporarily disable all alert notifications

globally associated with an Alert Profile.

The alert policy defines the notification actions that are taken by the device in response to alert

conditions. The alert profile consists of one or more alert sequences. An alert sequence specifies:

• The period of time that must pass before an alert condition results in notification.

• The number of times the notification will be repeated if the alert condition goes uncorrected.

• The time interval at which the notification is enacted

• One or more Alert Actions that are taken as part of the Alert Sequence's notification process

• The schedule that determines whether the Alert Sequence is active at the date and time that the alert

occurs

• Capture settings that can be used to override specific alert-action attributes, such as including

graphs or image captures with alert notifications

For more information about alert sequences, see “Creating an Alert Sequence” on page 116.

The Default Alert Profile

APC NetBotz appliances come pre-configured with a Default Alert Profile. This Default policy features

the following 4 pre-configured Alert Sequences, all of which are scheduled to be active 24 hours a day, 7

days a week:

• Alert Level 1: Begins immediately after an alert condition occurs (Start Value of 0), repeats 2 times

at a 5 minute interval. Initiates the following pre-defined Alert Actions: Primary E-Mail

Notification, HTTP Post, FTP Data Delivery.
