Perform the following steps to set an override alert. Index Types available depend on the Solution Package installed. In this example, we use the EMS Monitor Package to illustrate.
Note: To turn on an alert, both Alert Enabled and Levels Enabled must be selected.
To turn on/off, change threshold settings, enable/disable or remove an alert on a single resource:
In the Alert Administration display, select a tabular alert in the Active Alert Table and click Override Settings. The Tabular Alert Administration display opens.
Note: Alerts that do not support overrides have a value of -1 for the Override Count column and the Override Settings option is not present when you select such an alert.
In the Tabular Alert Administration display, select the Index type from the Index Type drop-down menu (options are populated by the type of alert you previously selected). For example, with the EMS Monitor package, select PerServerQueue, PerServerTopic or PerServer. NOTE: If you select PerServerQueue or PerServerTopic, the alert settings are applied to the queue or topic on a single server.
In the Unassigned Indexes table, select the item you want to apply an override alert setting to, click Add and OK in the confirmation dialog. After a few moments the override setting appears in the AlertLevels table.
Select the item in the AlertLevels table.
In the Alert Settings panel (lower right), if needed, modify the Warning Level and Alarm Level settings.
In the Alert Settings panel, set the following as appropriate.
To turn on the alert for this index with the given thresholds:
Alert Enabled Select this option.
Override Settings Select this option.
NOTE: To turn on an alert, both Alert Enabled and Override Settings must be selected.
To turn off the alert for only this index (global alert thresholds will no longer apply to this index):
Alert Enabled Deselect this option.
Override Settings Select this option.
To no longer evaluate this indexed alert and revert to global settings (or, optionally, Remove it if it is never to be used again):
Alert Enabled Not used.
Override Settings Deselect this option.
Click Save Settings. In a few moments the modifications are updated and a new record appears in the AlertLevels table. For example, in the following figure, the EmsServerConnectionCountHigh alert has a new override applied. New overrides increment the alert Override Count in the ALERTLEVELS table.
