Configuring Alert Sources
The alert source is the program or
process that sends the alert. In general, you do not need to modify the
configuration for either built-in or user alert sources. However, if you create a
new recorder you do need to create a new alert source. You could also create a new
alert source for a backend that you have written.

- From within the NFR GUI, click the Alerts tab.
