Creating Notifications

Notifications occur when a particular value matches a given criteria. These are useful for monitoring extreme situations on adapters, for example; a situation where an adapter is persistantly consuming more than 10Mbit/sec of data may require attention by the system administrator.



Use the Delete button to remove unwanted notifications. Clicking the 'Data Items' button launches a tool-window with draggable data tags.

To create a new notification, enter a data value to observe in the 'Data Value' field. This value is usually a data tag such as %Adapter:MbinInPerSec%

Next, select a comparison condition from the drop-down list.

In the 'Comparison' field, enter the value which your observed data should be compared to. This value may be a data tag. Note: Dates cannot be compared

Select the frequency of notification in minutes.

Finally, enter the text to be displayed in the bubble when this notification is executed. This text may contain any combination of data or tags.

Click 'Add' to add the new notification.

Note: Balloon messages must be enabled in Settings for notifications to work. For more information, click here.
