Monitor Notification
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.
How it is used
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.
Configuration
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.
Details tab
 
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.
Filters
The list displays all the filters that you have created to retrieve notifications on the Smarts InCharge server. To remove or edit a filter, select it and click Remove or Edit respectively. To add a filter, see the instructions below.
To add a filter:
1.
Click Add. The Add Filter dialog appears.
2.
From the Field drop-down list, select the field that you want to search in.
3.
From the Relation drop-down list, select the relation that you will use to compare for your search.
4.
In the Value field, type the value that you will search for in the field that you selected.
Tip: You can use a filter to prevent the Monitor Notification object from triggering when new Momentary events are created by selecting Event type as the Field, is not equal to as the Relation, and MOMENTARY as the Value.
