Managing numerical and state alert thresholds

All numeric and state thresholds use the same basic procedure and displays to add, edit, or delete threshold settings.

Note

The same displays are used to manage the alert threshold settings regardless of whether you select the NetBotz Appliance Configuration option in the Device menu, the Device View right-click menu, or Map View right-click menu, except for the "Select Devices" display that appears only when you use the Device menu options.

1. Select the sensor type you want to manage from the NetBotz Appliance Configuration option in the Device menu or Device View right-click menu.
   • For a Device menu option, go to step 2.
   • For a right-click menu option, go to step 3.
2. In the "Select Devices" display, select the devices you want to search for threshold settings that match the selected sensor type, and click OK.
3. In the "Select Thresholds" display, select the threshold type you want to manage from the Thresholds drop-down menu; the display will list alert thresholds that have already been defined for the threshold you select in that menu.
   • Click Add, and go to step 4 to define new threshold settings.
   • Select one or more of the listed settings, click Edit, and go to step 5 to edit those settings.
   • Select one or more of the existing thresholds, and click Remove Selected, to delete those threshold settings.

     Note

     If you selected Other Numeric Sensors or Other State Sensors as the Alert Thresholds option, you will only be able to edit or delete one threshold at a time.

4. In the "Select Sensors" display, select the sensor or sensors you want to add alert thresholds for, and click OK.

   Note

   If the no sensors are available for the selected sensor type, a "No Sensors Found" display will appear.

5. In the "Configure Settings" display, define the Basic, Advanced, and E-Mail tab settings, and click OK.
6. In the "Select Thresholds" display, repeat steps 3 through 5, as needed, to edit or add the settings for another Thresholds drop-down menu selection, or click OK, to exit the wizard.
