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 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 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 the corresponding Exec Agent.

If a Job cannot be started
At the start of a Job (information)
If an Internal Error occurs during the Execution of a Job

At the End of a Job (information)
At the End of a Job: If the Session Failure Rate is greater than a threshold in percent
At the End of a Job: If the Average Response Time per Page is greater than a threshold in seconds
At the End of a Job: If the Average Response Time of the Slowest Page is greater than a threshold in seconds

¹ = The values for periodically checked alert conditions are calculated from the measurements collected within one interval. Repeated alerts are suppressed. A cancel notification is released if the measurement is later less than the threshold. |
Message Headlines
