  • Name - Name assigned by the user creating an alert definition. A fired alert is identified, in the HQ user interface and alert notifications, by the alert definition name and a timestamp. An alert definition name should clearly communicate the nature of the problem. For example, "Down" for an alert on availability, or "Low Memory" for an alert on free memory.
  • Description - Description entered by the user creating the alert definition.
  • Priority - The severity of the problem, as defined by the person creating the alert definition:  "Low", "Medium", or "High".  A consistent policy for defining an alert definition priority makes it easier to triage problems appropriately.  An alert's priority is shown in HQ pages that present alert status and in alert notifications. You can sort alerts by priority in HQ Enterprise's  Alert Center or Operations Center.
  • Active - The current enabled/disabled status of the alert definition. Alerts only fire for enabled alert definitions. When an alert definition is disabled, HQ does not evaluate its condition or fire alerts for it.
