PCM - Defining Policy based on a Event from Traffic Manager

[Ulrich Keller]

Hi at all,
is it possible to define a Policy based on a event from the Traffic Mannager ? I have defined such a policy - but it will not run, because the source of this policy is not a device - but the Traffic Manager.
The Goal is to get a EMail when a Switch Port exceeds the theshold of Port Utilisation.

Thank you for your help

Can you specify the details of the Alert you created for the purpose?

The below alert should work

Alert Type:-
Policy Manager:Event-based Alert

Filter:-
has severity GREATER THAN Informational
contains: Critical threshold violation

Source:-
Alert source as Event source

Also check if the email configuration is proper(Preferences>SMTP Profiles)

Hope that helps

Details of the Alert:

Times: Everytimes
Sources: Interconnect Devices
Targets: No targets for the policy
Altert Type - Polic Manager Event based Alert

Filter:
Alert me when I receive 1 event that: has severity GREATER THAN infomational an within a period of 60 seconds

Actions:
Send EMail to ....
(Note: sending EMail works fine)

--------------------------------------------

The solution for the problem was to define the Alert in the Source Tab as "Alert Source(s) as contents of event"

I have made this settings - and since then - it works fine.

Thank you for your assistance.
