In order for you to receive alerts on monitor events, you must first have monitors configured on the devices for which you want to receive alerts. Be sure to create monitors to collect the types of information for which you want to be alerted. For example, Nick, the network administrator from Step 1, has created a Domain Service (DNS) active monitor for his web server, and an SNMP Trap passive monitor for his mail server. He has also enabled the Disk Utilization performance monitor for his four storage servers.
For information about configuring and assigning DNS active monitors, see Using active monitors.
