Configuring Global Action Options
This server requires a secure connection (SSL) – Select this
checkbox if the server requires an encrypted connection. The
target email server must be using SSL and you must place the
mail server trust certificate into the .keystore file in the
OneSight installation directory. This field is only available
when Require User Authentication is selected.
Message Consolidation Settings
Enable Consolidation – Consolidates e-mail actions that are
configured to use the same e-mail address (for example, any e-
mail action type addressed to: it_manager@company.com).
Multiple actions may be triggered due to a cascading system
failure or a recurring problem. Select this option to reduce the
number of e-mail notifications delivered during a critical
period. Since a single action can be used by multiple action
plans, the frequency of notifications is potentially high.
When the Enable Consolidation check box is cleared, the
recipient receives a notification each time an action is triggered
by the system. When Enable Consolidation check box is
selected, the recipient receives the first notification, then
OneSight consolidates all notifications for the interval time
specified in the Consolidation Interval box, and notifies the
recipient each time the interval time has expired. The body of
the message includes the highest priority notification received
during this interval.
An example consolidation message is:
Subject: CPU overloaded, long run queue (user_nt)
OneSight Warning Alert.
CPU overloaded, long run queue: Value was 16
processes, threshold is 4
processes (4/4/00 6:17 PM)
Component: user_nt
Event: CPU overloaded, long run queue
Metric: Processes: Run Queue Length
Monitor: Windows NT 4 (user_nt)
