Modifying an alert v10.3

Use the Alerts table to manage an existing alert or create a new alert. Select an object in the PEM client tree to view the alerts that monitor that object.

You can modify some properties of an alert in the Alerts table:

• The Alert name column displays the name of the alert. To change the alert name, replace the name in the table and select Save.
• The Alert template column displays the name of the alert template that specifies properties used by the alert. You can use the list to change the alert template associated with an alert.
• Use the Alert enable? switch to specify if an alert is enabled (Yes) or disabled (No).
• Use the Interval column to specify how often PEM checks whether the alert conditions are satisfied. Set the Default switch to No and specify an alternate value, in minutes. Or set the Default switch to Yes to reset the value to its default setting. By default, PEM checks the status of each alert once every minute.
• Use the History retention field to specify the number of days that PEM stores data collected by the alert. Set the Default switch to No and specify an alternative value in days. Or set the Default switch to Yes to reset the value to its default setting. By default, PEM stores historical data for 30 days.

After modifying an alert, select Save (located in the upper-right corner of the table) to preserve your changes.

To modify other alert attributes, select Edit to the left of an alert name to open an editor. The editor provides access to the complete alert definition.

Use the Alert Details dialog box to modify the definition of the selected alert. After you modify the alert definition, select Save.
