Manage Alert Rules

Manage Alert Rules lets you define rules to detect unusual traffic on your network or detect appliance system anomalies.

You can add, modify, or remove alerts. You can configure alerts to generate SNMP events, syslog receiver and/or send an email notification when the alert rule is triggered. Each appliance includes a default set of alerts. You can modify these alerts and add to them as needed. You do not need to set up an SNMP or syslog server for the default alerts.

Note: If you have the Manage Alerts privileges, you can modify or delete alerts created by other users.

The Manage Alert Rules page displays the following details:
