Configuring global remote alert settings

The global remote alert settings apply only to forwarded alerts.
Complete the following steps to set the number of times that the IMM attempts to
send an alert:
1. Log in to the IMM on which you want to set remote alert attempts. For more
information, see Chapter 2, "Opening and using the IMM Web interface," on
page 9.
2. In the navigation pane, click Alerts and scroll down to the Global Remote
Alert Settings area.
Use these settings to define the number of remote alert attempts and the length
of time between the attempts. The settings apply to all configured remote alert
recipients.
Remote alert retry limit
Use the Remote alert retry limit field to specify the number of
additional times that the IMM attempts to send an alert to a recipient.
The IMM does not send multiple alerts; additional alert attempts occur
only if there is a failure when the IMM attempts to send the initial
alert.
Note: This alert setting does not apply to SNMP alerts.
