Configuring an Alert for a Report on the Command Center

You can set an alert for the data that appears in report tables. In most reports, each condition type represents a column that is visible in the table. Just like the columns in reports, the corresponding alert conditions vary per report. Likewise, the value types that you can set vary per condition.

    The Reports page appears.

  2. Click a report.

  3. At the top-right of the table, click Settings table settings button, and then click Configure alert.

  4. Under General, in the Name box, type a name for the alert.

  5. To specify a severity for the alert, such as Warning or Critical, next to Send Notification With, select a status from the list.

  6. To set an alert based on the information in a column, select the column name, select a condition, and then type a value in the box.

    Values are not case sensitive.

    For example:

    Select Protected Objects, select more than, and then type 100.

  7. To add more alerts based on information in columns, click Add Condition, specify the column name and value, and then choose when to send notifications.

  8. To check the alert conditions you configured, click Test Criteria.

    The results appear in a new tab in your web browser.
