On this page you define the condition triggering the alert. Depending on the alert type that you chose on the previous page, one of the following conditions is displayed:
In the Notify when drop-down list, select an object to track.
Select the condition that will trigger the alert. If you want to trigger the alert when the object is detected on newly discovered computers, select the detected condition.
Attribute Value alert condition
In the Notify when drop-down list, select the hardware or software component's attribute that the condition will be based on.
Select the condition from the list. If prompted, enter a value for the comparison.
By default, Alloy Discovery checks the attribute value every time computers are audited, and triggers the alert when the value meets the condition. If you want to generate the alert only when the value meets the condition AND has changed since the previous audit, select the Generate notification only if the audit attribute has changed check box.
TIP: If you want to trigger the alert whenever the attribute value is changed, regardless of its value, use the has any value condition and select the Generate notification only if the attribute has changed check box.
