Using Monitoring › Alert Management › Edit an Alert Policy

Edit an Alert Policy

Editing an existing alert policy is similar to creating a policy. You can use the VMC to modify the properties of one or more alert policies, or you can edit a single policy using the Alert Policy dialog.

Follow these steps:

1. Find the appropriate alert policy.
2. Do one of the following steps:
   • Right-click that policy and select Edit in VMC from the pop-up menu to modify the policy using the modify_alert_policy command in the View Management Console.
   • Right-click that policy and select Edit from the pop-up menu to modify the policy using the Alert Policy dialog.

   Note: To edit multiple alert policies at one time, use the Shift or Ctrl key and mouse to select the alert policies to modify. Next, right-click, and select the Edit in VMC command from the pop-up menu.

3. Edit the alert policy definition as appropriate.
4. Do one of the following steps:
   • Click Execute in the View Management Console to modify the policy, and then click Close.
   • Click Save in the Alert Policy dialog to save the changes to the policy definition.

   The changes to the alert policy definition are saved.
