Attributes and Elements
The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and the parent element of an AlertOnState element.
Attributes
None.
Child Elements
None.
Parent Elements
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
Defines the alert to generate when the monitor reflects a specified unhealthy state. |
Text Value
The AlertOnState element has one of the following values: Warning or Error.
Because the AlertOnState element specifies the minimum unhealthy state at which an alert is to be generated, if you specify Warning, an alert will be generated for both Warning and Error. If you specify Error, an alert will not be generated when the monitor attains a Warning state.
Important
For dependency monitors, it is not necessary to include this element, because it is not always known which monitors are being rolled up.
To see how the AlertOnState element is defined in a unit monitor, see AlertSettings (AggregateMonitor).
