Definition of Fields that are Used to Create Each Alert
Alert Name
: Add a name for the alert. This name will be included in
notifications, so it is recommended to use a name that will help you identify the
application or location impacted by the alert.
Notification Frequency
: With Alert Frequency set to “Only send once,” an
alert is only sent the first time the reading crosses the specified Alert
Threshold. For the other Alert Frequency settings, an alert is sent at the
specified interval as long as the reading remains beyond the Threshold Value.
As a later option, an alert can also be sent if/when the reading returns to
normal (see “Send on clear also”).
Acknowledgement
: If the box is unchecked, alerts will be sent at a specified
interval until the reading returns to normal. If the box is checked, alerts will
stop being sent when the reading returns to normal or when a user logs into
the
StarWatch
Connect Website and acknowledges the alert.
Alert Type and Alert Threshold
: The following alert types are available:
•
Missed Report
: Available for both
StarWatch
Connect gateway and
transmitter. An alert notification will be sent if the
StarWatch
Connect
Website fails to receive readings from a device for the number of
intervals specified in the Alert Threshold. The minimum number of
intervals is 4. For example, if a device’s Monitoring Interval is set to 5
minutes and the Alert Threshold is set to 4 intervals, the
StarWatch
Connect Website will send an alert notification after 20 minutes of the
device not reporting.
•
Power Monitor
: Available for the
StarWatch
Connect gateway only.
An alert notification will be sent when the device has lost AC power and
is running on battery power.
•
Low Battery
: Available for the
StarWatch
Connect transmitter only. An
alert notification will be sent when the device has less than 20 percent
battery remaining.
Alarm Delay
: As explained in section 1.4, the Alarm Delay feature can be
used to delay alert notifications until a device or sensor has exceeded its
specified Threshold Value for a specified number of measurement intervals.
For example, if a device’s Monitoring Interval is 5 minutes, the Missed Report
Alert Threshold is set to 4 intervals, and the Alarm Delay is set to 3, an alert
notification will be sent out after the device has failed to communicate with the
StarWatch
Connect Website for (5*4)*3=60 minutes.
Send Notifications
: Select when alerts should be sent using the choices
below. For all choices except Always, enter an active time window with a start
time and end time.
