When you create a health monitor alert, you create an association between a severity level, a health 
module, and an alert response. You can use an existing alert or configure a new one specifically to report 
on system health. When the severity level occurs for the selected module, the alert triggers.

Note that if you create or update a threshold in a way that duplicates an existing threshold, you are 
notified of the conflict. When duplicate thresholds exist, the health monitor uses the threshold that 
generates the fewest alerts and ignores the others. The timeout value for the threshold must be between 
5 and 4,294,967,295 minutes.

Select 

.

The Health Monitor Alerts page appears.

Type a name for the health alert in the 

 field.

From the 

 list, select the severity level you want to use to trigger the alert.

From the 

 list, select the modules for which you want the alert to apply.

To select multiple modules, press Shift + Ctrl and click the module names.

From the 

list, select the alert response that you want to trigger when the selected severity level is 

reached.

Click 

to open the Alerts page. For more information on creating alerts, see 

Optionally, in the 

 field, type the number of minutes that should elapse before each 

threshold period ends and the threshold count resets. The default value is 5 minutes.

Note that even if the policy run time interval value is less than the threshold timeout value, the interval 
between two reported health events from a given module is always greater, such that if the threshold 
timeout is 8 minutes and the policy run time interval is 5 minutes, there will be a 10-minute interval (5 
x 2) between reported events.

Click 

to save the health alert.

A message appears, indicating if the alert configuration was successfully saved. The Active Health 
Alerts list now includes the alert you created.

Any

The alerts generated by the health monitor contain the following information:

Severity, which indicates the severity level of the alert. 

Module, which specifies the health module whose test results triggered the alert.

Description, which includes the health test results that triggered the alert.
