Until now our powerful Notifications have been time consuming and difficult to configure.
With each option presenting you with another ten simultaneously it quickly became technical work!
We present to you; The Notification Wizard. The Notification Wizard puts our most simple, flexible yet
powerful system at your finger tips and completely changes the way you configure Notifications.
Configuration has been made completely intuitive and natural. Notification is configured simply by choosing
a sensor, choosing your conditions and choosing what to do under these conditions. If you
wanted to monitor when the Temperature in
your server room rises above
60 degrees and have an e-mail to the support team sent,
it's now as easy as saying it. Configuring notifications is made simple by selecting each variable in small steps.
This simplicity coupled with the ability to expand this method to thousands of actions, sensors, conditions and
contacts makes it our most powerful solution yet.
As described a Notification is based around three items, the sensor, the status of the sensor and
the action to be performed for the Notification. The Notification Wizard walks you step by step
through each to create a new Notification in seconds, not minutes, and with our modular approach
each of the three objects, settings and configurations can be duplicated and repeated easily.
Let's consider the example above, clicking on the Begin Notification Wizard brings you
to the first part of completing your Notification.
|
| 1. Simply choose your Notification method, e-mail in this case.
|
|
| |
2. Complete your e-mail address details. (message, e-mail server and other
settings follow).
|
|
| |
3. Sensor Action Link Screen. On this screen you have the option to select
multiple sensors, under multiple conditions with multiple actions. All clearly
displayed and selected at the click of a button. |
|
| |
4. Once completed your Notification is displayed in the Sensor Action Link Page,
which acts as an overview for all completed Notifications. |

This is a basic overview of configuring a common Notification for temperature alerts via e-mail
completed in a matter of seconds. Configuration of all of methods is just as simple
(Snmp, MMS, SMS, Telephone Call etc.)
Also included is the Notification Log which tracks all attempted Notifications for
admin/testing purposes and the Notification Analyzer which allows filter of the entire
collection of Notifications. The latter tool is extremely helpful in determining who
receives what notifications, or what sensor statuses are set to trigger notifications.
This tool is a god-send in fine tuning your Notifications to cover all eventualities.
