Alert Configuration

Alert is a notification system that sends messages to people in your organization using various methods of communication. Alert does not generate its own messages. You must tell Alert what information you want to communicate and where you want to send it.

If you configure Alert from Server Admin, you can generate notifications for non-job related events, such as starting or stopping the Tape Engine. To do this, enter the words or phrases you want to communicate in exactly the same format as they appear in the Activity Log and click Add.

Or, if you want to send all activity log messages, enter an asterisk and click Add. Alert generates notification messages and sends them to the appropriate recipients. For information on selecting recipients and configuring methods to transmit Alert notifications, see “Using the Alert Manager."
