Viewing Alert Definitions
Available in HQ Open Source unless marked by * for HQ Enterprise only
This screen allows users to view and manage all the alerts defined for a specific resource (if this screen is accessed through a resource's inventory) or for a resource type* (if this screen is accessed as part of the Monitoring Defaults configuration).
 | Alerts Inherited by a Resource from a Resource Type
The screen displaying alerts for an individual resource can contain alerts defined at the resource-type level that have been propagated down to all resources of that type. These inherited alert definitions are marked with an asterisk (*). These alerts cannot be deleted from the individual resources. Any changes to the alert definition at the resource level will be overwritten the next time any changes to the alert at the resource-type level is made. |
