Triggering an E-mail Action Plan
To set up an alert to trigger an e-mail action plan:
1. If you have not already created your monitor, create one now.
2. Make sure you have already set up an e-mail action plan that
will let you know when your monitor has a problem.
3. Click the Configure menu, click Monitor Groups, then click
Modify.
4. Click the Monitor you want to associate with an e-mail alert,
then click Modify.
5. On the Alerts tab, you will see at least one preconfigured alert
that notifies you if monitoring cannot be performed. By default,
a failure to monitor changes the status of the monitor on the
Status page to Red (Critical). However, if you want to be
notified about this failure, you must associate the alert with an
action plan.
6. Select the default alert named for the state you associate with
monitor failure (for example, URL Unavailable), and click
Modify.
7. In the Alert Editor, the Respond By option controls what action
is triggered when an alert condition occurs. By default, there is
no action plan associated with this alert condition, so you will
see Respond by .
