Alerts: Alert Recipients, Alert Classifications, and Severities
Alerts are email messages or notifications containing information about a specific
function (or alert classification) or functions such as a hardware or anti-virus
problem, sent to an alert recipient. An alert recipient is simply an email address
to which the alert notifications are sent. The information contained in the
notification is determined by an alert classification and a severity. You can specify
which alert classifications, at which severity, are sent to any alert recipient. The
alerting engine allows for granular control over which alerts are sent to which

alerts to an alert recipient, configuring an alert recipient to receive notifications
only when Critical (severity) information about the System (alert type) is sent.
