How to: Hint on setting up alerts

3. In "Select alert" field:

1. Under the "Predefined Alerts" tab, choose the appropriate "Alert log type" from the drop-down box, and the suitable criteria (If further filtering of the list of criteria is required, use the "Alert Category" drop-down box).
   

2. Under "Compliance Alerts", the criteria are grouped based on the respective compliance.

3. Under "Custom Alerts", the user can define criteria for his unique requirements. This option is very customizable that even a single keyword in the log can be used. Note: Using "AND" operand implies that both the criteria should be satisfied and using "OR" operand implies that at least one should be satisfied.

4. Alert Format Message: The details in the alert results under the "Alert" tab depends on the Macro used in this option.

2. Time Range: Only the events generated during this period will be taken into account.
