Alerts - Config (Site level configuration)

The Alerts - Config tab in the Sites screen shows the configuration of all the Alerts set in the system and also allows the user to change the configuration of the Alerts for the selected site. The organization and site will be shown according to the site selected by the user in the Sites screen.

When a site has set customized alert configurations, the alerts will be raised according to only those site specific configurations. The alert configurations set on the organization level will not be valid for the site anymore. The alert configurations set on the site level will overwrite the organization level alert configurations.

At the top of the page, the user can see the configurations for the three primary alerts set for the site. These alerts are:

• Link Availability

• Internet Status

• Login Attempt

Let us look at these alert configurations in detail:

Link Availability

The Link Availability alert notifies the user if the WAN Interfaces are not active i.e. if the availability percentage goes below the threshold value.

• Expand the Link Availability row to view the configuration of the alert.

• The WAN types available are listed on the left.

• The alert is raised and closed depending upon the entry rules and exit rules configured.

• The alert moves to Alerting status when the entry rule is satisfied and the alert changes to Normal status when the exit rule is satisfied. This holds true for all types of alerts.

• Enter the Entry Duration (in min) and the Entry Threshold %.

• Enter the Exit Duration (in min) and the Exit Threshold %.

• Now the system will check the internet availability of the WAN interfaces periodically.

• If the Link Availability of any of the interfaces goes below the given Entry Threshold % and remains lesser than Entry Threshold % for the amount of time specified in Entry Duration, the alert will be raised.

• After the alert moves to Alerting status, the system starts checking for the exit conditions periodically. The notification about the alert will be sent to the preconfigured communication channels.

• If the Link Availability goes above the given Exit Threshold % and remains higher than Exit Threshold % for the amount of time specified in Exit Duration, the alert changes to Normal status.

• Click the Delete icon to delete the alert configuration of the corresponding interface.

• Click the Notification icon to mute the notifications sent to the communication channels but continue to track the alert.

• Click the Toggle button to stop tracking the alert.

• Enter the Exit Duration (in min).

• Now the system will check the internet status of the WAN interfaces periodically.

• If the internet status of all the interfaces goes down and remains down for the amount of time specified in Entry Duration, the alert will be raised.

• After the alert moves to Alerting status, the system starts checking for the exit conditions periodically. The notification about the alert will be sent to the preconfigured communication channels.
