3. Select the severity level.
4. Select whether W-AirWave matches all or any trigger conditions, then click Add. In many cases, you must
configure at least on condition setting. For more information about trigger conditions, see "Types of Triggers"
on page 222.
5. Configure the trigger restrictions:
l Folder. Limits the trigger to apply to devices in the selected folder.
l Include Subfolders. Limits the trigger to apply to devices in the selected folder and subfolders.
l Group. Limits the trigger to apply to devices in the selected group.
Selecting folder and group applies the trigger to the intersection of devices in both group and folder.
6. Enter alert notifications, including a note that will be included with the alert. This note will appear with the
alert on the System > Alerts page. Alert notification settings include:
n Email. Enter the sender and recipient email addresses.
n NMS. Choose one or more of the pre-defined trap destinations, which are configured on the AMP
Setup >NMS page. This option is available if an NMS server has been added to W-AirWave.
n Logged Alert Visibility. Choose how this trigger is distributed. The trigger can distributed according to
how is it generated (triggering agent), or by the role with which it is associated.
n Suppress Until Acknowledged. Choose whether the trigger requires manual, administrative
acknowledgment to gain visibility. If No, a new alert will be created every time the trigger criteria are
met. If Yes, an alert will only be received the first time the criteria is met. A new alert for the device is
not created until the initial one is acknowledged.
7. Click Add to save the trigger. The trigger appears the next time you go to the System > Triggers page.
