Alert States

Alerts can be in one of the following states:

• Enabled ()

• Disabled ()

• Active ()

• Escalated ()

The initial state for a newly created alert is Enabled. This means that all triggers are enabled and may raise the alert. You can disable the alert (put it in Disabled state, technically speaking) by switching off the Alert is enabled basic option. A disabled alert is never raised and doesn't do anything, because all triggers are inactive.

Alert is active if:

• One of its event triggers is active, i.e. primary event has occurred and correlated event hasn't yet occurred
• One of its variable triggers is active, i.e. activation condition has been satisfied and deactivation condition hasn't been satisfied thereafter
• One of its variable triggers is in "Flapping Detected" state
• There are any pending (non-acknowledged) alerts

The activation reason is shown in a tooltip that appears when the mouse hovers over the alert in Iotellect Server User Interfaces.

For description of Escalated state see Alert Escalation.
