The Event Life Cycle
  • When a test condition is met, the event is triggered, and the agent notifies the Management Server.
  • Scheduled administrators then receive notification via pager, e-mail, or both.
  • An alert is then posted to the Alerts page of all administrators with View permission or higher.
  • Each administrator who receives the alert can then view/edit the event occurrence, or log that they have seen it with the Acknowledge Alert command.
  • Any administrator with Full permissions for an alert can reassign it to another administrator.
  • Administrators can view alert details in the Event Viewer to determine how to resolve the problem.
  • Once the test that generated the alert returns false, the alert clears and moves to the History page of all administrators who received the alert.
