How to Set Up a Threshold Alert to Send Notification When an Asset Comes Online in Asset Manager
To set up a threshold alert to generate a notification when an asset comes online, perform the following steps:
Navigate to User Console > Alert Management > Thresholds.
Click the New button.
In the right pane, click the drop-down menu for Asset Alert Threshold.
From the drop-down menu choose Custom Alert Threshold.
Using the form (pictured below), complete the fields to configure the Asset Alert Threshold.
NOTE: You will need to scroll down in order to see and fill the fields in the rest of the form (pictured below).
The most important fields of the threshold will be in the Alert Filter section:
· Online Status = YES (indicated by a check in the checkbox)
· Asset Tag = <the tag ID> (example of a tag ID: LOCATE00008398).
Below are the fields in the form that you will need to change from the defaults:
Basic Information
Name: <user-defined, but probably best to include the name of the Asset or the tag ID or both>
Enabled: Check the checkbox if it is not already checked.
Alert Severity*: The default is Warning, but you can select any of the other choices that you desire.
User Required To Acknowledge Alert: Again, this is up to the user to choose if they want to have to acknowledge alerts.
Alert Filter
Threshold Filter Asset Type*: Selecting Asset will include all tags/assets.
Threshold Filter Location: <Leave BLANK to search all locations.>
First Attribute*: Choose Online Status from the drop-down menu.
First Attribute Value Operator*: Choose the equal sign (=) from the drop-down menu.
First Attribute Value: Check the checkbox.
Second Attribute: Choose Asset Tag from the drop-down menu.
Second Attribute Value Operator: Choose the equal sign (=) from the drop-down menu.
Second Attribute Value: Enter the tag ID of the tag/asset you want to watch for (examples: LOCATE00008398, RCKIRC000856498, etc.).
Alert Actions
NOTE: Be sure to add all the Alert Actions that you want in order to make sure you receive the notifications you want to receive.
For the example, the Action “Wade Email” was used.
Alert Messages
Alert Start Message: <user-defined to say whatever you want it to say> - Example: “An online alert condition has been detected for the asset {$aAlertEntity}.”
Alert Resolve Message: <user-defined to say whatever you want it to say> - Example: “An online alert condition was detected for the asset {$aAlertEntity} but has now returned to normal.”
When you are done, click the Save Changes button.
