b. Type in the Time Allowed Above Maximum field (or use the arrows in the field to specify) the
number of seconds that the reported value can exceed the value specified in the Maximum field
before an alert condition is generated.
c. Check the Enabled check box to enable the threshold. If this check box is not checked, the alert
threshold will be saved but will not be active.
Add to the Threshold-Specific Addresses list the e-mail addresses of any personnel to whom e-
mail alert notifications should be sent if this threshold triggers an alert condition. Click Add...,
type in the e-mail address to which the alert notification will be sent, and then click OK.
If you’ve installed an SMS-capable modem you can deliver alert notification to SMS-enabled
devices by entering threshold-specific addresses for them in the following format:
sms:sms_device_address
where sms_device_address is the telephone number or e-mail address associated with the SMS-
enabled device (for example, “sms:5123334444” or “sms:user@mycorp.com”).
6. If desired, specify Advanced Threshold settings. All Advanced threshold settings are optional. From
the Advanced tab in the Thresholds pane:
– Specify a Return To Normal Delay value. Use the controls to specify the number of seconds that
must pass after this threshold has returned to normal before the threshold state is considered
returned to normal. Default value is 0 (state returns to normal immediately after the measured
value is no longer violating the threshold).
– Set an Advanced Schedule for this threshold (optional). By default, all thresholds are assumed to
be enabled 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, you can specify that a threshold will be
enabled only during specific time ranges. To set an Advanced Schedule:
a.Click Advanced Schedule....The Schedule Threshold window opens.
b.By default, all time periods in the schedule are set to Enabled. To disable the threshold for a
currently enabled period of time, highlight the period of time by clicking-and-dragging over the
desired time range, and then click Disable. To enable the threshold for a currently disabled
period of time, highlight the period of time by clicking-and-dragging over the desired time
range, and then click Enable.
Note
These threshold-specific notifications are sent only if your device has one or more Alert
Actions defined that use the Send E-Mail Message alert notification method and that have
the Include Addresses from Thresholds check box checked. For more information, see
“Alert Actions” on page 113 and “Creating Alert Actions” on page 221.
