Advanced View: Configuring Pods and
Alerts
The tasks available from the Pod/Sensors Settings portion of the Configuration panel enable you to
configure the pods and sensors that are connected to your appliance and to configure the alert actions
and policies that will be used when alerts are reported by your sensors. Detailed information about
the tasks available from the Pod and Alert Settings portion of the Configuration panel follows.
Alert Actions
Use the Alert Actions task to define Alert Actions for use in the individual Alert Sequences that make
up your Alert Profiles. When you create an Alert Action, you select a specific alert notification type
(such as sending an e-mail notification, sending an SNMP trap, or posting the alert information to an
HTTP server) and provide necessary configuration settings (such as an e-mail recipient’s address, the
IP address of your SNMP trap recipient, or the IP address of your HTTP server) that will enable the
Alert Action to be successfully carried out.
