Alerts
This tab allows you to setup your alert
options.
| Alert History Depth |
Sets the number of rows
that are stored in the AlertTable. |
| Rate To Remove Cleared Alerts |
Enter the time, in
seconds, to control how often Enterprise RTView will remove all cleared alerts
from the Alert data source. NOTE: This rate is evaluated during each update
pass, so the amount of time elapsed between removing cleared alerts may be
longer than the value entered. For example, if the update period is two seconds
and the Rate to Remove Cleared Alerts is five seconds, the cleared alerts will
get removed every six seconds. |
Alert Definitions
This tab allows you to set options for your alert
definitions and to add, remove or refresh your alert definitions. Alert
definitions are added or removed after you click OK,
Apply,
or Save. The Refresh Selection
option re-loads the selected alert definition immediately.
| Enable Alerts |
Enables/disables all
alerts in the active Alert Definition files. |
| Initial Delay |
The number of seconds to
wait after startup to begin evaluating alerts. |
You can add, remove or refresh Alert
Definition files on this tab.
| Add |
Click to add a row and
enter a new Alert Definition file, and optionally a corresponding substitution, then click Apply to execute. The
Alert Definition file is added to the data source, the Alert Variables Table updates
with all active alerts from the Alert Definition file and the alerts begin
executing. Alerts without names or with duplicate names are not added. |
| Alert Definition File |

alert definitions. See Alerts for
information on creating Alert Definition files. |

If a substitution value contains
a single quote, it must be escaped using a / :
$filter:Plant=/'Dallas/'
If a substitution value contains
a space, it must be enclosed in single quotes. Do not escape these single
quotes:
$subname:subvalue $subname2:'sub

Alert Definitions file without restarting the Display Builder. The Refresh
