Create a QoE Alert

Pressing the <Add> button opens a new page composed of three sections.

The left hand pane allows you to set which email addresses MIP uses to send out the alert and define the alert name and email subject line.

Below that are options to limit how often and when to send the alert.

The middle pane consists of check boxes to select the fault conditions that generate the alert. The checkboxes are organized so you are able to select a generic fault, say Video or a specific fault within video say: Black Screen.

Lastly the right hand pane allows you to select the channel or channels you want to monitor. Typing all or part of the channel name into the Filter text box at the top of the display list restricts the display to matching channels.
