The Monitor Notification object will
trigger a Policy when a Smarts InCharge notification has been
created or updated. Configuring filters enables you to trigger your
Policies for specific notifications that are created or
changed.
The Monitor Notification object can
be used to monitor Smarts InCharge for critical notifications and
trigger a Policy that will perform level 1 diagnostics and
procedures and then escalate the notification to an administrator
if the diagnostics fail.
To configure the Monitor
Notification object, you will need to know whether you want to
monitor new notifications, updated notifications, or both. You will
also need to know what type of filters will distinguish the
notifications that you are interested in using to trigger the
Policy.
Server
|
Click the ellipsis button
(...) and select the Smarts
connection that you want to use.
|
New notification
|
Trigger your policy when new
notifications are created that match the filters that you
specified. Smarts InCharge specifies a New notification as any
notification that has been created with the Momentary event type or
a Durable event type that has a combination of Class, Name, and Event fields that does not match an
existing Durable notification.
|
Updated notification
|
Trigger your policy when
notifications that match the filters that you specified are
modified. When a new durable notification is created that has a
matching combination of Class, Name, and Event to an existing
notification, it will be considered an update to the existing
notification.
