Configuring Alert Messages
The alert message is the actual text
that is sent. When you configure an alert message, you also define where NFR sends the
message. You could create a new message when you create a new backend.
»To create alert messages:
- From within the NFR GUI, click the Configure tab.
- Click Configure alert messages, source and destinations.
- Click the User Messages tab.
- Click New. The Add Alert Message window displays.
- Provide information about your new alert message:
- ID String - Type a name to identify this alert message. NFR uses
this name internally to identify this alert message, and it must be unique.
- Message Format String - Type the message that you want NFR to
send. You can use substitutions
to insert various information into the alert.
- Message Severity - Choose the severity for the message.
- Message Destination - Choose the the facility to which you want to send
the alert.
- Click Add.
- Click Apply to make your change take effect.
You can also create alert messages for backends through the backend configuration
option of the GUI. When you use this method, you do not get to create the ID string
for the message, the GUI creates one for you.
»To delete alert messages:
- From within the NFR GUI, click the Configure tab.
- Click Configure alert messages, source and destinations.
- Click the User Messages tab.
- Select the message that you want to delete.
- Click Delete.
- Click Apply to make your change take effect.
