Sample Every: – Specifies how often samples are
taken for this monitor. Refer to, ―Sample Every Settings,‖ later
in this chapter for a description of these settings.
Alert Collection Mode – Select how you want alerts to be
processed.
Report Alerts as they Occur – If multiple alerts occur on the
same trigger they are all sent. Alerts with the same timestamp
as a previous alert will not be sent.
Report First Alert Encountered for a Trigger – The first alert
that occurs during a sample run for a specific trigger is the
only one sent. Subsequent alerts for the same trigger are
ignored.
Report Last Alert Encountered for a Trigger – The last alert
that occurs during a sample run for a specific trigger is the
only one sent. Previous alerts for the same trigger are
ignored.
Report all Alerts for a Trigger as a bundle – Send all alerts that
occur for a specific trigger during the sample run as one alert
message.
Test – When you add or modify a monitor, you can test General
settings to determine if they are set appropriately. After clicking
the Test button, you will see messages in the status window as
the test runs and when the test completes.
3. Each monitor that you add must have a unique name. You can
let OneSight create a unique name using the Log File
specifications you supply, or you can type in your own name
for the monitor.
4. On the General tab, specify the type of monitor you want to
create.
