Set up actions for Spotlight Cloud to take when an alarm is raised against a connection monitored through the Spotlight Cloud Diagnostic Server application.

Create a new alarm action rule

Create a new rule made up of conditions and actions. A scenario may be: for a given connection, when a specific alarm is raised, of specific severity, take an action like run a program.

Conditions

For an alarm action rule - possible conditions such as the name of the alarm, severity, time of the day or day of the week.

Actions

For an alarm action rule - possible actions to take when the conditions are met

Guidelines and example cases for multiple rules

Where the actions vary depending on the conditions multiple rules are required. These examples and associated guidelines are designed to support a smooth running system. The organization of multiple rules when incorrectly done can result an excessive duplication of actions (such as sending of emails).
