Using the Alert Manager
186 Management Edition
Sending an alert to a DMI console
‡
NOTE: DMI (Desktop Management Interface) is an industry interface for
keeping track of and monitoring the status of components, including
hardware and software, in the computers on your network. For more
information about DMI, visit the Desktop Management Task Force
website at http://www.dmtf.org.
Alert Manager and DMI work together to alert the DMI management console
instantly of a virus. When a virus is detected, DMI immediately generates an
alert message for Alert Manager to display on the DMI management console.
To generate DMI alerts, the machine running Alert Manager must have the
DMI software running.
Follow these steps to send an alert to a DMI console:
1. Open the Alert Manager Properties dialog box.
2. Click the DMI tab. The DMI page appears ( Figure 6-17 ).
