### 6.8.1 Filtering alert for servers

There are two filtering methods for Windows and Linux servers:

- Filtering by alert level
- Filtering in units of alerts

Organization of this subsection
  (1) Filtering by alert level
  (2) Filtering in units of alerts

#### (1) Filtering by alert level

You can classify the alerts that occur at a server and set the levels of alerts to be sent to the management console.

To filter alerts by alert level:

1. From the Host Management window, select the server for which alert settings are to be specified.
   Select only one server. You cannot select multiple servers.
2. From the Setting menu, choose Agent Service Settings.
3. Click the Alert tab.
   The Alert dialog box appears.

4. From Alert level, select the levels of alerts to be notified of.
5. Click the OK button.
   Immediately after the OK button is clicked, only the set levels of alerts will be subject to notification.

#### (2) Filtering in units of alerts

You can set the individual alerts to be sent to the console service. You can also save the settings you make here in the alert attribute file so that they can be read by other servers.

To filter alerts in units of alerts:

1. From the Host Management window, select the server for which notification alert settings are to be specified.
   Select only one server. You cannot select multiple servers.
2. From the Setting menu, choose Agent Service Settings.
3. Click the Each Alert Attribute tab.
   The Alert Attributes dialog box appears.

4. Read settings from the alert attribute file.
   If you wish to read settings from the alert attribute file before specifying filtering in units of alerts, click the Read button to read the alert attribute file. For details, see 6.9 Reading and saving alert attribute settings.
5. From List of alerts, select an alert to be notified of.
   The List of alerts displays only those alerts that can be sent by the selected server.
6. In Alert occurrence notification, set whether notification is sent when an alert occurs.
   To send notification when the selected alert occurs, select Notify. To not send notification when the selected alert occurs, select Do not notify. When alert occurrence is to be displayed, you can also set a number of times the alert must occur before notification is sent.
7. Save the settings in the alert attribute file.
   To save all the settings that you have specified so far, click the Save button to save them in the alert attribute file. For details, see 6.9 Reading and saving alert attribute settings.
8. Click the OK button.
   Immediately after the OK button is clicked, only the set alerts will be subject to notification.

Note
  A count of alert occurrences for purposes of determining notification is not reset at the time of rebooting, turning the power on, or turning the power off.
