The following steps demonstrate how to create a rule that
will send email notification to the administrator if there is
a problem with the Protection Status of any client
workstations. The notification will also be saved to a file
named log.txt.
1)
|
Set the Trigger type drop-down menu
to Client State.
|
2)
|
Leave the options Priority, Activation
after: and Repeat after every: at
the predefined values. The rule will automatically be assigned
priority 3 and will be activated after 24 hours.
|
3)
|
In the Description field, type
protection status notification for HQ
clients
|
4)
|
Click Edit
in the Client filter section and only activate the
ERA Groups IN section rule condition. In
the lower part of this window click the link specify and type HQ in
the new window. Click Add and then click
OK (twice) to confirm. This designates
that the rule is only applied to clients from the HQ group. |
5)
|
Further specify parameters for the rule in Parameters > Edit
Deselect all options except for
Protection Status Any Warnings. |
6)
|
Proceed to the Action section and
click the Edit
button. In the
Action window, activate Email, specify recipients (To
) and Subject for the
email. Then select the Log to file check
box and enter the name and path of the log file to be created. As
an option, you can select the Verbosity
of the log file. Click OK to save the
action. |
7)
|
Finally, use the Message text area to
specify the verbiage that will be sent in the body of the email
when the rule is activated. Example: The
client %CLIENT_LIST% reports protection status
problem. |
8)
|
Click Save as
to name the rule,
e.g., protection status problems and
select the rule in the list of notification rules. |
The finished rule should resemble the Figure below:
The rule is now active. If there is a problem with the
protection status on a client from the HQ group, the rule will
be run. The administrator will receive an email notification with
an attachment containing the name of the problematic client. Click
Close to exit the Notification
Manager.
