What is an alert definition?

In Sedrix it is possible to automatically notify users when certain events occur. Triggers for alerts can be for example when threshold values are exceeded or when a measurement device is no longer sending data.

In order to set up these automatic notifications, so-called alert definitions are created in Sedrix. In these definitions you can configure what triggers an alert and who should be notified. Furthermore, a variety of additional settings can be made, such as if an alert must first be released, or if a confirmation is required and if so, what happens if the confirmation does not occur within the expected time period.

How a user is notified, whether via email, SMS or telephone call, is not part of the alert definition. Instead, each user can configure this for themselves.
