How to Create an Action Alert

The process of creating an Action Alert, using the schedule action alert wizard, has the following main steps:

1. Opening the schedule action alert wizard.
2. Choosing the query or tags on which the alert is based. You can query either the event database, the incident database or both in a single job.
3. (Optional) Setting advanced filters to refine the alert query.
4. (Optional) Setting date range and result conditions
5. (Optional) Defining how often the alert job recurs, and when it is active.
6. (Optional) Configuring automatic alert emails and recipients.
7. (Optional) Selecting whether to run the query on data for the selected server only, or to run it for this server and all of its children.

   Note: You cannot base an action alert on an ODBC query.
