KBI 310831 New Feature: Implementing Node Specific Alert Using Default Alert

Version

Added to Argent Global Manager 3.1A-1401-A and above

Date

Wednesday, 12 Feb 2014

Summary

Implemented ‘Default Alert‘ in both Network Group level and CMDB-X node level in Argent Global Manager

Technical Background

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 Global Manager 3.1A-1401-A implements Default Alert in both Network Group level and CMDB-X node level

Network Group Level

CMDB-X Node Level

Use Default Alert in Relator

The Default Alerts specified for a node or for a network group get displayed under the ‘Default Alert‘ section under Alerts
