Adding Alert Destinations

An alert destination is a destination address for alert notifications in ALSB. You can create alert destination resources in the Create Alert Destination page.

  1. If you have not already done so, click Create to create a new session or click Edit to enter an existing session. See Using the Change Center.
  2. Select Project Explorer, then select a project or folder in which to add the alert destination. The Project/Folder View page is displayed.
  3. From the Create Resource drop-down list, select Alert Destination to display the Create Alert Destination page.
  4. In the Resource Name field, enter a unique name for this alert destination. This is a required field.
  5. In the Resource Description field, enter a description for the alert destination.
  6. Select any or all of the following destinations to be included in this alert destination resource.
  7. Note: By default, all alerts are sent to the ALSB console at run time. These alerts can be viewed under Operations > Dashboard.
    • SNMP Trap: If you specify SNMP Trap, alerts are sent as SNMP traps, and can be processed by any third-party enterprise monitoring systems (ESM).
    • Reporting: If you specify Reporting, alerts are sent to the ALSB Reporting module and can be captured using a custom Reporting Provider that can developed using the Reporting APIs provider by AquaLogic Service Bus. This allows third-parties to receive and process alerts in custom Java code.
  8. Add an e-mail recipient to the alert destination resource definition. See Adding E-Mail Recipients.
  9. Add a JMS Destination to the alert destination resource definition. See Adding JMS Destinations.
  10. Click Save. The new alert destination is saved in the current session.
  11. To end the session and deploy the configuration to the run time, click Activate under Change Center.
