Assigning an Alert Center threshold to a task

You can assign an Alert Center threshold to a task to notify you on task activities. You do this from the Threshold tab of the WhatsConfigured Task dialog.

After you have assigned a threshold to a task, a custom threshold dashboard report for the task threshold is displayed on the Alert Center tab.

To assign a threshold to a WhatsConfigured task:

1. Navigate to the WhatsConfigured Task Library (Other Plugins > WhatsConfigured Task Library). The WhatsConfigured Task Library appears.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Click New to configure a new task. The Select Task type dialog appears.
   • Select Schedulable Task, then click OK. The New WhatsConfigured Task dialog appears.
   • - or -
   • Select an existing task, then click Edit. The Edit WhatsConfigured Task dialog appears.
3. Select the Threshold tab. The threshold tab appears.
4. Select Enable this threshold to enable and configure the threshold options.
5. Enter a Name for the threshold. This name is displayed in the WhatsUp Gold Alert Center Threshold Library.
6. Select to have the Threshold alert when the task Detects configuration changes on a device, if the task matches any of the selected conditions:
   • Detects a successful execution of a task on a device
   • Fails to run for a device
   • Successfully runs for a device
   • Fails this policy

   Note: If you do not see the appropriate policy, or if the list is empty, browse (...) to the Policy Library to configure a new policy.

7. Select the Notification policy you would like Alert Center to use to notify you when the threshold is met. If the list is empty or you want to configure a new notification policy, browse (...) to the Alert Center Notification Policy Library.
