Alert Manager overview

Using the Alert Manager dashboard widget, you can subscribe or unsubscribe to predefined alert notifications and have the notification sent to your dashboard, e-mail inbox, pager, or cell phone. From the Alert Manager, you can also create new alerts that other users can subscribe to.

Subscriptions and notifications

Before you can receive alert notifications, you must first subscribe to them.

When you first open the Alert Manager, you should see a list of the alerts that the administrator has given you access to. From the list, you can select each alert that you want to receive and you can choose a mechanism for receiving it. For example, you can choose to receive an alert in an e-mail message, to your phone or pager, or only to your dashboard.
Note: Phone, pager, and e-mail information is configured by the administrator.

If you previously created an alert using the Alert Manager, it will also be displayed in the list.

Creating and editing alerts

From the Alert Manager, you can create alert notifications from existing key performance indicators (KPIs). Creating an alert notification involves specifying a trigger condition, and creating a notification message and subscription list. You can share the alerts that you create so that other users can view and subscribe to them.

After you create an alert using the Alert Manager, you can easily edit it, for example, if you want to change the notification message. You can also copy or delete the alerts.
