OneSight Administrator Guide

Adding Actions to the Plan
for each valid message template variable. For example,
%Monitor%, %Metric%, etc. Specific mappings are in the
OneSight.MIB file. In the default template, a maximum length of
1100 has been specified for the %DescriptionBy OID% value.
In some circumstances the trap message may be discarded due
to excessive length. Refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/233401/en-us for details.
Modify – Displays the Modify Alert Message Template dialog
box for modifying the selected message template.
Escalation Timeout – Amount of time (in minutes) for this
action to wait after executing before performing the next action
in the Action Plan.
Escalation time out for good state – when checked, use the
escalation timeout for alerts associated with a return to good
state.
Reminder Interval – Amount of time (in minutes) to wait before
repeating the action if the alert is still valid.
Repeat for good state – when checked, applies to alerts
associated with a return to good state.
Total Counts – The total number of times to repeat this action.
For example, if you have set up a 24x7 action plan to send
email actions with the following actions and settings:
Action 1: Escalation = 5, Reminder = 1, Total Counts = 20
Action 2: Escalation = 5, Reminder = 5, Total Counts = 3
Action 3: Escalation = 0, Reminder = 10, Total Counts = 3
Action 4: Escalation = 0, Reminder = 0, Total Counts = 1
The entire action plan will first execute the actions serially, that
is, action 1 completes the first iteration, and subsequent actions
occur as the escalation timeout expires for each action. Then
