Trigger Configuration
Triggers are rules or configurations that trigger an alert or an event within Infraon. Infraon allows adding conditions to raise alerts or events when the specified rule is met.
There are two types of trigger configurations within Infraon. They are:
Alerts - Alerts are based on configured thresholds (refer to Threshold module for details)
Correlation - Infraon correlates events based on multiple conditions to trigger an action.
To configure a Trigger
There are three steps to adding a trigger:
Trigger - Define a name and select if it is an alert or correlation.
Condition - Define filters and conditions.
Action - Select action between notifying through email/SMS or creating an incident
Triggers can be created for alarms, severity, asset IDs, names, etc. Ensure the trigger status is enabled to trigger the alerts/actions.
