Creating Alerts

WhatsUp Gold Alert Center enables you to detect and follow critical messages, failures, and other key events occurring within your network and host infrastructure. Once detected, notifications and escalation policies enable you to raise awareness, whether this includes the WhatsUp Gold user interface displaying an alert dialog, a simple email and SMS notification, or a policy-based chain of notification to site administrators, support specialists, and responsible individuals.

Alert Center provides the following:

• Thresholds Library. Configure threshold value, magnitude (greater than or less than), and frequency.
• Notifications Library. Configure types of alert notifications (SMS, email).
• Notifications Policies. Sequence, chain, and escalate alert notifications to satisfy site policy and SLA.
• Blackout Policies. Add 'off notification' periods, personnel, and notification method exceptions.
