The corresponding Alert Configuration Menu can be called from the Personal Settings Menu. The Alert Configuration Menu will create a file named AlertConfig.xml which is located , located in the ZebraTester installation directory and which contains the configuration data for all alert devices and for all alert notifications. If no AlertConfig.xml file exists on an Exec Agent, no alerts are released from this Exec Agent ¹. Each time when When a job is started on an Exec Agent, the Exec Agent tries to read this file, which means that the file can be created, updated, or deleted without the need of restarting to restart the corresponding Exec Agent.

¹ As a further option, it is also supported to use a specific alert configuration for a particular load test program. In such a case, you have first to place a copy of the file AlertConfig.xmlinside the Project Navigator directory where the load test program is stored. After that, you can manually edit the copied AlertConfig.xmlfile and then ; you have to ZIP it together with the compiled class of the load test program's compiled class (similar to the procedure which is required for using input files or using Plugins). This effect that the program-specific alert configuration is automatically transmitted to the Exec Agent(s) and that it overrides the Exec Agent's default behavior on the Exec Agent (s). Note: the copy of the AlertConfig.xmlfile is stored in such a case inside the job-specific directory on the Exec Agent.
