Creating a New Notification Policy

[EcoStruxureIT]

In the Alarm Configuration perspective, you can create a new notification policy in the Notification Policies view. You select any existing notification policy, or use the Create Notification Policy icon 92307480_360039287793.png, to create a new notification policy.

A notification policy must include at least one threshold or device, and one alarm action before it can be used to generate alarm notifications.

No thresholds or actions are included by default in a new notification policy.

1. Select the Create Notification Policy icon or right-click option in the Notification Policies view.
2. In the "Create New Notification Policy" display, identify a policy name, choose the thresholds, devices, and actions to add to the notification policy.
   1. Click Add to configure the alarm actions to add to the notification policy. Click Manage Actions to create alarm actions, or modify or remove existing alarm actions on the server. Check-mark one or more actions to configure their notification options, check-mark the actions you want to add to the notification policy, and click OK .
   2. On the Thresholds tab, click Choose Thresholds to identify the thresholds you want to add to the notification policy. In the "Choose Thresholds" display, you select a device group or device, select the thresholds you want to add to the notification policy, and click the Add Selected Thresholds button. Use the Remove Selected Thresholds to refine the list. Click OK to exit the display.

      Note

      You can modify thresholds in the Threshold Alarm Configuration view in the Alarm Configuration perspective.

   3. On the Devices tab, click Choose Devices to identify the devices you want to add to the notification policy. In the "Choose Devices" display, you select a device group or device you want to add to the notification policy, and click OK.

      Note

      All device alarms reported by the device or device group selected will be added to the notification policy. You can modify the alarm configuration for alarm types or individual device alarms in the Device Alarm Configuration view in the Alarm Configuration perspective.

3. Modify the alarm actions, thresholds, or devices you have added to the notification policy, if necessary, or click OK to exit the display.
