KBI 310793 New Feature: Implement Node Specific Alert Using Default Alert
Version
Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1401-A and later
Date
Friday, 3 Jan 2014
Summary
Alert is typically associate with Relator
All the nodes in the Relator use the same alerts when Rule is broken
Sometimes customer needs to implement node specific alert instead
For example, node A is managed by administrator X, node B by administrator Y
When Rule is broken for node A, customer would like administrator X to be notified; when Rule is broken for node B, administrator Y notified
It is difficult to implement this in previous versions without defining multiple Relators, one for each administrator
Argent AT 3.1A-1401-A can implement such node specific alert using node Default Alert
Technical Background
Argent AT 3.1A-1401-A implements Default Alert in both Network Group level and CMDB-X node level
If CMDB-X node level is not defined, use Network Group level
If neither is defined, no Default Alert is defined for the node
(Network Group Level)
(CMDB-X Node Level)
(Use Default Alert In Relator)
Resolution
Upgrade to Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1401-A or later
