Introduction

To get to this dialog, click on the System Edit button on the Live Alert Monitoring screen.

In Live Alert system settings is split into three sections:

• Dashboard Auto Refresh
• Live Alert Summary Email
• Schedules

Dashboard Auto Refresh

If you are using the dashboard on a large screen with no attached input devices or if you have a dedicated monitor for this live alert screen then allowing the screen to refresh automatically would be beneficial.

To enable auto refreshing, simply toggle the Enable button. You can also adjust the schedule that the refresh occurs by changing the cron string for the Schedule field. Finally click on the Save button once you are done.

Live Alert Summary Email

Sending alerts on every issue can result in a fair amount of unwanted email. To combat this, you can enable a summary email which has the status of all live alerts and lists the instances that have issues and the counts of that issue. This way the intended audience will get a single email for all the issues rather than an email per issue.

To configure the live alert summary click on the Live Alert Summary Email tab.

Enable the email by toggling on the Enabled toggle. Select the Email List of recipients and adjust the schedule by changing the cron string for the Schedule field.

Finally click on the Save button once you are done.

Schedules

The schedules for the Live Alerts module is highly configurable as each schedule is just a cron string.

Each schedule line item has two schedules:

• Send Cron Schedule - the schedule in which the live alert query is run against the instance
• Email Cron Schedule - when this schedule fires an email is sent for all live alerts with issues using this schedule

To edit the schedule click on the Edit button.

Here you can adjust the schedules by editing the cron string for both the Query Cron Schedule and the Email Cron Schedule field. Finally click on the Save button once you are done.
