Setting Up an Alert to Trigger an Action Plan
Click the arrow next to the Respond By option and select an
action plan you have configured with e-mail notification, then
click OK.
8. Click OK to update your monitor’s settings.
Note: The amount of time it takes for the monitor to escalate the
status to a Critical condition depends on factors such as how often
the monitor tries to take a data sample. If you want to quickly
confirm that your e-mail action plan is working, you may want to
temporarily modify your monitor so that it will not sample
successfully (for example, specify an incorrect URL or IP address)
and then set it to sample at a very frequent rate.
Creating a Threshold-based Alert
If you want to know when web component performance either goes above
or goes below an acceptable measurement, you can set up an alert that
monitors a performance threshold. When the monitor detects that the
threshold has been crossed, it triggers the alert.
To create a threshold-based alert:
1. If you have not already created your monitor, create one now.
2. Click the Configure menu, click Monitor Groups, then click
Modify.
3. Click the monitor you want to configure, then click Modify.
4. Click the Alerts tab, and then click Add to open the Alert Editor.
5. In the Description box, type information that helps you to
identify what this alert is measuring. For example, Slow Page
Response Time.
6. In the Respond If box, select the threshold condition that you
want the monitor to respond to:
