Creating an alert action

You must create at least one alert action before your NetBotz Appliance can generate alert notifications.

All alert actions are created using the same basic procedure.

Select Alert Actions in the Alert Settings option in the NetBotz Appliance Configuration option in the Device menu.
In the "Select Alert Action Type" display, highlight the type of alert you want to create, and click Next.
In the "Select Next Action" display, select to create a new action, and click Next.
In the "Select Devices" display, select the parent device or devices you want associated with the alert action, and click Next.
- Creating an alert action on a NetBotz Appliance will make the alert action available to all profiles on the selected NetBotz Appliance.
In the "Alert Action" display for the selected action, define the settings you want the action to use, and click Next.

Note

For information about the settings for the action you are creating, see the help section for that action's settings display.
In the "Test Action" display, click Finish without testing the action, or select the action you want to test, click Test Action, and then click Finish.

Note

You will need to verify the test was successful. For example, for a Send SNMPv1 Trap, verify the trap was received at the trap receiver; for a Send E-mail, verify the e-mail was received.
In the "Choose Next Action" display, select whether you want to configure additional actions, add actions to alert profiles, or exit the "Alert Actions" wizard, and click OK, or click Cancel, to exit the wizard.
