Set Run Options

Run Options enable you to specify the runtime settings for an alert.

To set the run options for a Resource alert:

1. On the Add Resource Alert page, click the Run Options tab.

2. In the Automatically Run field, select one of these options:

   • On demand to run the alert notification immediately.

   • Schedule to run the notification at a specified time. Specify the notification frequency and the start date and time.

3. Set the Log Activity History field to Yes to enable activity logging for the alert on the Alerts History page.

4. Specify the settings for the Stop Duplicate Messages option.

5. Set the Simulate Run option to Yes to do a test run of the alert.

   When this option is set to Yes, notifications aren't triggered in the environment, but you can see the simulated content. This option is useful in a non production environment to test the notifications without sending them. You can review the notification content on the Alerts History page.

6. Click Schedule to return to the Alerts page.

7. Select the resource alert and click Action Run to run the alert.
