Example: Custom notification profile usage

To illustrate how to use a custom notification profile List of email addresses or SNMP nodes assigned to an alarm. If the alarm is triggered, the email addresses and the SNMP nodes receive a notification. for a special purpose, assume that the following situation exists:

There are two alarms of the Major priority that are triggered persistently.
You want employees Mike Marshall and Alison Allard to be notified when these two alarms are triggered so they can investigate them. However, you do not want Mike and Alison to be notified of any other alarms.

In this situation, you can do the following:

Manually create a new, custom notification profile. (You must define the name for the profile when you create it.)
Add only employees Mike Marshall and Alison Allard to the custom profile.
Assign the custom profile to the two alarms of the Major priority that are recurring.

Mike and Alison each receive e-mails when either of the two alarms is triggered. If their names are not included in any other notification profiles, Mike and Alison are not notified of any other alarms.

This example illustrates only one use of custom profiles. You can use custom profiles in any way that suits the needs of your enterprise.
