Adding an Email Alert

From the Email Alerts window, click Add.
1.
Enter a name for the email alert.
2.
Select Enabled to turn on the alert or Disabled to turn it off (save for later use).
3.
From the Monitoring dropdown list, select an option:
4.
• Any: The access of any user (or from any workstation) will be considered when determining
if alert conditions are met.
• User: Only the specified user will be tracked for alert consideration. Enter the user's iPrism
username or the workstation's IP address in the associated field.
• Profile: Only users monitored by the profile selected from the dropdown list will be
considered.
• IP Range: Only workstations that have an IP address within the specified IP range will be
monitored for alert events. To track a single workstation, type the workstation's IP address in
both the IP Start and IP End fields.
Check Group Utilization for Monitoring Selection if you want the threshold to be based on the
5.
total usage for all profiles or IPs in the selected range. Leave this unchecked for each individual
profile or IP address to be subject to the threshold defined below.
In the Threshold frame, select the criteria, value, and time span that will cause an email alert to
6.
be sent.
• Bandwidth (KB): An email alert will be sent when the specified amount of data is accessed
within the selected time span.
• Pages: An email alert will be sent when the specified number of pages are accessed within
the selected time span. A page is defined as an HTML access with a MIME content type of
text/*. This includes blocked attempts as well.
• Hits: An email alert will be sent when the specified number of web accesses of any content
type occur within the selected time span. Generally, Pages are a more useful selection type
than Hits, since Hits will track data for every access (images, etc.), even though they all fall
within a single page.
• Session Duration (minutes): An email alert will be sent when the specified number of
minutes are spent online within the selected time span. Since it is impossible for computer
software alone to track exactly how long someone spends browsing at a particular site, real-
world usage heuristics have been used to approximate the time spent browsing.
