Configuring alerts for devices
In this example, you assign an SMS Direct action to a device. Nick assigns this action to each of the storage servers so that he is notified immediately if a device goes down. The SMS Direct action was created when Nick configured it for the DNS active monitor; he can use the same action for his storage servers' status.
To assign an action to a device:
- In the Details or Map View, right-click a device, then click . The Device Properties dialog appears.
- Click . The Device Properties - Actions dialog appears; the option is selected by default.
- Click . The Action Builder appears.
- Select the option, then click . The Select Action and State dialog appears.
- Select the SMS Direct (Text Nick) action and the Down state, then click . The Device Properties - Actions dialog appears.
- On the Device Properties dialog, click to save changes.
