Managing Alerts in Batches

To improve efficiency when configuring a large number of alerts, the alert service supports batch operations. The user may export the alert configuration as an Excel file, edit the Excel file, and import it back to perform batch edit or creation.

Batch operations are available for the following:

  • Alert Severity: Import all information in batches, including Organization ID, Severity ID, Severity Description, and Severity Tag.

  • Alert Type: Import all information in batches, including Organization ID, Type ID, Type Description and Type Tag.

  • Alert Content: Import all information in batches, including Organization ID, Content ID, Content Description, Content Tag, Model ID, and Type ID.

  • Alert Rule (Basic Function): Import all information in batches, including Organization ID, Rule ID, Model ID, Measurement Point ID, Condition, Content ID, Severity ID, Tag, Scope, Alert Triggering Delay, Enable, and whether it is a root alert.

Procedures

This procedure uses Alert Severity as an example to describe how to perform batch editing or creation. The batch operations of other alert configurations will be similar to Alert Severity.

1.Select Edge Alert from the left navigation menu and select Alert Severity tab.

2.The user either edit, add, or edit and add multiple alert severities at one go.

  • To edit multiple alert severities, select all the items you need to edit, and click Batch Export.

  • To create multiple new Alert Severity, select any item and click Batch Export. Use the Excel file as a template and add the Alert Severity information according to the format. Each row represents one Alert Severity.

  • The user may edit and add alert severities at the same time.

3.Save the Excel file when you finish. Click Batch Import to import the Excel file.

After choosing the Excel file and clicking Import, EnOS will validate the data in the file and show the results of the importing. If there are invalid records, you can download the information by clicking the Export Invalid Records and check the cause of the failure. Fix the issue and import the Excel file again.
