Configuring protocol usage alerts

Use the Protocol Usage > Add Protocol Usage Alerts or Edit Protocol Usage Alerts page to:

(Add page) Select new protocols for usage alerts

Establish or update the threshold for usage alerts

Select or update alert methods (email, SNMP) for the alerts

If you are creating new protocol usage alerts, start by marking the check box next to each protocol to be added with the same threshold and alert methods.


	Note You cannot select a protocol for alerting unless it is configured for logging in one or more protocol filters. Protocol alerts only reflect usage by clients governed by a protocol filter that logs the protocol.

The remaining steps are available both for adding and for editing usage alerts:

Set or change the Threshold by selecting the number of requests that cause an alert to be generated.

Select each desired alert method (Email, SNMP) for these protocols.

Only the alert methods that have been enabled on the Alerts page (see Configuring general alert options) are available for selection.

Click OK to cache changes and return to the Protocol Usage page (see Configuring protocol usage alerts). Changes are not implemented until you click Save and Deploy.

Edit the details for multiple protocol usage alerts by checking the box to the left of each protocol you want to change and clicking Edit. The selections you make on the Edit Protocol Usage Alerts page will be applied to all selected protocols.
