Setting Up the Alert Monitor › Enable State Change Alerts

Enable State Change Alerts

The region can automatically generate an alert for a resource that changes state. The region closes such an alert automatically when it recognizes that the problem that caused the alert no longer exists. You can enable the alerts for selected state changes. You can also specify the severity levels of the generated state change alerts.

Follow these steps:

1. Enter the /PARMS panel shortcut.

   The Parameter Groups panel appears.

2. Enter F STATECHANGE.

   The cursor locates the STATECHANGE parameter group.

3. Enter U next to the group.

   The group opens for updating.

4. Enter a severity number from 1 through 4 in the fields for the states you want to enable alerting. For example, if you want a Severity 2 alert for state changes to UNKNOWN, enter 2 in the Unknown field.

   Press F6 (Action).

   The region starts generating alerts for those state changes.

5. Press F3 (File).

   The group is updated with the changes.
