OneSight Administrator Guide

Setting Up an Alert to Trigger an Action Plan
want an action plan to be triggered in response to an alert, select
.
Apply to – Select what the monitor’s health should be when a
sample cannot be gathered, when a threshold is crossed, when a
web page is redirected, or when a string match occurs. For example,
if you select Greater Than Threshold (Notify Once) in the Respond If
list, Warning State in the Apply To list, and the threshold value is
exceeded, a Warning state will result and the monitor health icon
will turn yellow on the Console Status page. If the performance
measurement drops back down below the threshold, the monitor’s
state will be reset to good (green).
Respond by (When Alert Is No Longer in Effect) – You can configure
an action plan to notify you when an alert condition is no longer in
effect. This option allows you to receive an e-mail, for example, if a
previously reported problem has been corrected. Whenever an alert
associated with a sample failure or an alert for a ―notify once‖
threshold returns to a good state after triggering an alert, any
current alert is retired and a good state alert is triggered.
Select how you want to respond if the alert condition occurs by
selecting an Action Plan from the list box. Options displayed in this
list box represent previously configured plans. To create a new plan
for this alert, click . If you do not want an action
plan to be triggered in response to an alert, select .
If the alert is configured to avoid alerting on acceptable spikes
(Trigger Response if of Samples...), this response regarding
the return to a good condition occurs only after the of
response has been triggered.
Scope – These options are used to determine when an alert should
occur when more than one location is being used.
Alert when locations in alert state – One response plan will be
triggered when the Nth location has this alert trigger. The
