Audible Alert State Threshold Drop-Down List
The Audible Alert State Threshold drop-down list controls whether an audible alert is
sounded when a certain state threshold is reached.
When you select No Audio, audible alert thresholds are disabled.
When you select an audible alert state threshold, an audible alert is sounded if an
object changes to that state. For example, if you set the audible alert state threshold to
the Down state, an audible alert is sounded if any object changes to Down. State
change transitions below that state do not sound an audible alert but are still logged in
the OSC log and appear in the OSC scoreboard.
You can configure the audible alert sound. If you select Audible Alert State Threshold,
a simple code string of dots and dashes appears. By specifying your own set of dots
and dashes, you can create a unique code. For example, you might specify …---… to
sound the morse code for SOS.
Notify Control Panel
The Notify control panel allows you to configure ASAP to automatically generate
reports and send them to your e-mail, pager, phone, or an internet browser.
Alerts and reports can be sent either when certain critical conditions occur (for
example, a device goes down or becomes busy) or for periodic reporting purposes at
certain times of the day. Reports can also be automatically stored for use as web
content at the end of each ASAP analysis update.
Report content can vary from short text messages to rich color-coded HTML content.
Notifications can contain single or multiple reports.
Notify Profile
The Profile portion of the Notify control panel allows you to customize notification rules.
Profile list - allows you to configure multiple notification profiles (each with different
SMTP server, Recipients, Notify Rule, Content, and report styles). To create a new
profile, simply type a new profile name in the Profile list, and click Apply, and then fill in
the fields as described below.
Profile check box - allows you to enable or disable notify profiles that you have
configured. For example, you could disable the Alerts profile while on vacation or
