Enabling Alerts

If you want a backend to send alerts, you must enable alerting for that backend.   The default NFR configuration does not enable alerting for any of the default backends.

»To enable alerting for a backend:

  1. From within the NFR GUI, click the Packages tab.
  2. Select the backend for which you want to enable alerting.
  3. Click Configure.
  4. Click the Alerts tab.
  5. Provide information about the alert that you want to send for this backend:
    • Message format string - Type the message that you want displayed as the alert.
    • Message destination - Choose the facilities to which you want to send the alert.    If you want to view these alerts with the alert viewer in the GUI, check NFR log facility.
  6. Click Submit Changes.
