Summary
Argent AT Alerts are used in following three scenarios:
- Initial Alert when Rule is broken
- Escalation if pending Alert is not answered or resolved within certain period of time
- Correction notification when condition has been corrected
Typically three Alerts are needed for each recipient, one for each of the above scenarios
The three Alerts are similar except that subject or message body contains words like ‘Escalation‘, ‘Corrected‘ and ‘Alert‘ to differentiate
By using keyword ‘%AGStatus%’, the three Alerts can be replaced with a single Alert, which will make system administration a lot easier
Depending on where the Alert comes from, keyword ‘%AGStatus%‘ is replaced with one of following:
- Alert
- Escalated
- Corrected
