System Alert Settings

There are specific alerts that can be sent pertaining to the n-Command MSP server. These are called System Alerts. Just like an alert template, the system alert settings specifies how alerts are delivered to a system administrator. This delivery method can be sent through SNMP to a monitoring agent or email to a valid email address.

To change the system alert settings:

  1. Navigate to Open Tab > Alert Templates, and select System Alert Settings from the top of the Alert Templates menu.

  2. Select the delivery method for each alert in the columns to the right. To check one delivery method for all alerts, select the check box in the column heading. This will check all the boxes below it for all alerts. Selecting E-mail requires additional settings under the Email Settings heading.

  3. If E-mail is selected as a delivery option for alerts, you must also indicate the Email Notification List to use. From the Email Settings section of the System Alert Settings dialog box, select an email from the drop-down list. Refer to Email Settings for details about creating these entries.

Before alerts can be sent through SNMP, SNMP must be configured in Settings > SNMP. Refer to SNMP Settings for more information.

Before alerts can be sent through email, email must be configured in Settings > Connection. Refer to Connection Settings for more information.

  1. Specify the threshold for any alerts requiring limits. For example, High Disk Utilization defaults to > 1%. This can be adjusted using the up and down arrows in the Limits column or typing in a number to specify a value other than 1.

  2. Select Save to save the settings.
