KBI 311156 New Feature: Repeated Escalation
Version
Argent Advanced Technology 3.1A-1501-B or later
Date
Friday, 16 Jan 2015
Summary
Customer can define a sequence of Escalation in Relator
Escalation is fired when Event is answered or resolved after the specified period of time
In previous versions, the escalation is removed from sequence after it is fired
After all escalations are completed, the Event will become quiet even the condition still persists
When the Rule does not use the option ‘Post Event Even If The Same Event Is Still Outstanding’ , there will be no new Events either as the existing one has not been answered
As a result, the Administrator may not notice the condition for a long period of time, if he misses the initial Alerts and all subsequent escalations for some reason
It is not acceptable for some critical conditions
Argent AT 3.1A-1501-B implements the new feature of Repeated Escalation
The escalation can repeat with specified interval until the Event is answered or resolved
By this way, the critical conditions will never be ignored again
