All
of the threshold rules that are defined under System->Action
Rules->Thresholds are listed above. For each threshold, you may
elect to send an email upon occurrence of true, false, or both. Then
select which of the recipients are to have this email sent to them.
From one to all may be selected. Use
caution when turning on automatic email generation. A threshold without
hysteresis and/or minimum times associated with it can easily generate several emails per second if the measured parameter is hovering around the threshold limit. Expect
Ack means i.CanDoIt will check incoming email to see if the event
notification email was replied to by the recipient, and with the proper
acknowledgement code in the message. If an acknowledgement is received,
repeating will be cancelled to all recipients. The
acknowledgement code expected in the incoming reply will be given in
the outgoing notification email. A typical notification code will look
like this: !08052012R1! and must be included in the reply in
exactly the same form including the exclamation points. Simply clicking
"Reply", then "Send" in Outlook will do the job since the original
message with acknowlegement code is automatically included in the
reply. Repeat
time is the rate at which the email will be repeated and is given as
D,HH:MM for days,hours:minutes. There should be no embedded spaces
between days and hours, only a comma. If set to zero (and just a single
"0" will suffice), repeating will be disabled. Emails are only
repeated for Notify on True; they will never be repeated for
Notify on False (unless the threshold rule goes true, then false,
for a second time). System
start-up is a special case. It is a pre-defined event, and will only be
repeated if Expect Ack is checked. If unacknowledged, it will not
be repeated (repeat time will be disregarded). |
