59.5.2 Customizing Notification Thresholds
To refine the types of events that trigger e-mail notification messages, you can create your own
thresholds that describe very specific states. Using thresholds, you can configure the Monitor Agent
to notify you of problem situations peculiar to your GroupWise system.
1
Make sure that notification has been properly set up as described in
Section 59.5.1,
“Configuring E-Mail Notification,” on page 979
.

Select one or more agents or agent groups.
At the Windows
Monitor Agent server console
:
3
Click
Thresholds

or
On Linux, at the
Monitor Agent Web console
, click
Preferences > Thresholds.
The tabs at the top of the dialog box enable you to create a separate threshold for each type of
GroupWise agent.

Select the type of agent to create a threshold for.

In the
Expression
field, select a MIB variable.
GroupWise agent MIB files are located in the
\agents\snmp
directory of your GroupWise
software distribution directory or
GroupWise 7 Administrator
CD. The MIB files list the
meanings of the MIB variables and what type of values they represent. The meaning of the
MIB variable selected in the
Expression
field is displayed above the field.

Select an operator from the drop-down list.

Type the value to test for.
For example, you might want to test the mtaOldestQMsg variable for a specific number of
seconds that you consider to be too long for a message to be in the queue.
