Using the Alerts Viewer
The MergePoint SP manager logs user-defined alerts that occur on managed target devices in the
Alert Viewer window. You may configure the MergePoint SP manager to send a notification by
email, MSN, SNMP Forward or Yahoo! message when specific alerts occur.
The Alerts Viewer window displays alerts and the corresponding date/time, source, IP address,
event type and severity level. Alerts set as read will be listed in black; alerts not set as read will be
listed in red. Click Detail next to an alert to view additional information.
To locate specific alerts, you may specify parameters to query the list of alerts. Users can also
search alert messages through a query analyzer. The query parameters include occurrence period,
IP address, event type, severity level and read status.
Setting an alert action
You may create an alert action by configuring action parameters to your specifications. You may
also configure the MergePoint SP manager to send email, MSN messages or Yahoo! messages to
specific users, or forward SNMP messages to specific target devices once an alert occurs.
