LiveNX supports two types of alerts:
- Single Instance Alerts
These alerts are global, meaning the same thresholds and sharing configurations apply to all sites, devices, and interfaces.
- Multi-Instance Alerts
Multi-instance alerts function similarly to an access list in a router or firewall. They are an ordered list of thresholds that are evaluated in a top-down manner. Each instance has an alert source filter defining the sites, devices, interfaces, etc., that it applies to.
- When a match is found, the corresponding instance’s threshold is used for the KPI measurement, and no other instances are considered.
- If no specific instance matches, the KPI uses the default instance (if enabled).
- Any disabled instances are ignored.
