Alert System
The alert system provides the following features:
● Generates alerts, displaying them locally and/or forward them via
email messages.
● Alerts are set and cleared by the daemons that own them. Active
alerts are locally displayed and can be cleared manually.
● Multiple forwarders can be configured, a configurable filter level
controls alert forwarding to each forwarder.
● By configuring different forwarders, low severity and high severity control
centers can be set up.
Each alert is mapped to an alert definition entry, which is predefined by a daemon
who owns the alert or by a user. All alert definition entries are configurable by user.
An alert filter is a user defined configuration to define the forwarders destination of
active alerts. Any active alerts with Renotify Interval set to non-zero value and
matches with the filter level will be forwarded to the defined forwarder destination.
