Configuring Notification Rules

Prerequisites

• You have completed the notification configuration. The navigation path is as follows: Choose System > System Settings > Notifications from the main menu.
• You have the following operation permissions: Set Notification Rules.

Context

• Notifications by email and SMS message are sent through third-party servers and devices. Therefore, the sending capability (such as the delay when the notifications arrive) varies with the third-party servers and devices.
• The delay time cannot be set on the page for creating an event notification rule.
• By default, the rules are sorted by the enabled and disabled states, and the rules in the same state are sorted by update time in descending order.
• A maximum of 1000 notification rules can be created.

Procedure

1. Choose Device Management > Alarms Management > Alarm Settings from the main menu.
2. In the navigation pane, choose Notification Rules.
3. On the Notification Rules page, click Create and select Alarm Notification Rules or Event Notification Rules.
4. In the Basic Information area, set the rule name, description, and whether to enable the rule.
5. In the Conditions area, set the severities, alarm status, alarms or events, and alarm or event sources for the rule to take effect. Set advanced conditions to filter the alarms or events for the rule to take effect based on the parameters.
   

   All alarm sources or All event sources is available only for the users who can manage all resources.

6. In the Time Filter area, set the time and period for the rule to take effect as required.
7. Set the notification method and content, recipient time zone, and recipients. When the alarms set in the rule are reported, the system sends notifications to users of specified groups by email or SMS message. Table 1 describes the parameters for creating a notification rule.
   

   To send notifications to relevant personnel, you need to enter their personal information, such as mobile numbers and email addresses. You are obligated to take considerable measures, in compliance with the laws of the countries concerned and the user privacy policies of your company, to ensure that the user's personal information is fully protected.
