On the alert editing panel you can see the full description of an alert and modify alert parameters or turn on/off alert severities or disable the alert altogether. Disabled alerts appear grey in the alert list. Sometimes it is also desirable not to fire an alert immediately, as soon as the alert condition has been met. For example, if you do not wish to be notified of a CPU usage peak unless it lasts longer than 2 minutes you can specify an alert pending time. Alert pending time is a time period Insider waits before firing an alert. The alert is fired only if the alert condition has been met for at least the alert pending time. You start editing an alert by reading its description and deciding at what severity levels you want to receive this alert. If you do not need e.g. to see the alert until it becomes critical turn off informational and warning severities by clicking on its captions. Then adjust alert parameters for critical severity and press or For alerts that do not allow more than one severity at a time (single-severity alerts) such as "Server down" you won't be able to enable more than one severity |
