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 enable alerts and set options for your alert definitions and to add, remove or refresh your alert definitions. Once you have added an alert definition file and, optionally, entered a corresponding substitution, click Apply to execute. The Alert Definition file will be 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 definitions are added or removed after you click OK, Apply, or Save. The Refresh Selection option re-loads the selected alert definition immediately.
