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
enable a Report profile while traveling on business so that you periodically receive
reports via e-mail.
The content of a profile can range from color-coded HTML e-mail reports to plain text
reports or abbreviated short-text message reports suitable for use with 161 character
short messaging wireless devices (cell phones via SMTP to wireless gateway).
Examples
Alerts profile - You can configure a profile named Alerts to send an alert to your
wireless phone notifying you whenever Critical or Down object state changes occur.
Report profile - You can configure additional profiles such as the built-in Report profile
to periodically send high-level or detailed reports to systems management personnel at
various user-defined times of the day. For example, you can specify one profile to
report hourly, another to report semi-hourly with a different set of report criteria, and
yet another at specific time intervals with varying degrees of report detail. You can also
configure a profile to automatically update pages on your Web site.
