Actions

Alert escalations support the following actions:

Finding Alert Escalations

You can search for alert escalations using filters and the Search Alert Escalations box on the Alert Escalations tab. This box is known as the intelliSearch box and located under your username on the top right-hand side of the user interface. Filters allow you to specify a list of objects with static criteria. IntelliSearch allows you to specify complex queries in a simple way using prefixes. Prefixes are used to specify which property you are searching in and have short and long syntaxes. For example, if you want to display all alert escalations with the term management in the comment, you would use the search criteria as follows:

c:management

You can search more than one property, as follows:

c:management n:corp

See the Advanced Object Search for more information.

The following table illustrates the available prefixes for alert escalations:

Deleting Alert Escalations

You can only delete alert escalation when no other objects relate to them. For example, if there are job definition alert sources that use the escalation, the escalation cannot be deleted until all job definition alert sources that use it have been modified. You can see all job definition alert sources that relate to the escalation in Related Objects in the lower detail pane and on the show page.

The table in related objects contains three columns:

Security

You can grant privileges on two levels, Access and Admin; a privilege granted on Admin level allows the grantee to grant the privilege to other users. These privileges can be granted system-wide, per partition or isolation group.

If you have the security module, which requires the Module.Security license key, you have an additional Security tab on the alert escalation. It allows you to specify which users can access, edit, and delete the alert escalation.
