An alert limitation is a filter that restricts the scope of an alert to a specific set of objects, such as nodes, interfaces, applications, or groups. You can use an alert limitation to create an alert that only applies to a select set of nodes in your network, and exclude the rest. To set an alert limitation for the nodes to be included in the alert, follow these steps1:
Click Alerts & Activity > Alerts > Manage Alerts.
Find the alert that you want to edit or create a new alert.
On the Trigger Condition tab, define the condition that triggers the alert, such as Percent Loss is greater than or equal to 50.
On the Scope of Alert tab, select Limit the scope of this alert to a specific subset of objects.
Choose the method to define the subset of objects, such as Select objects manually, Use a custom SWQL query, or Use a custom SQL query.
Select or enter the criteria to filter the objects, such as the node name, IP address, group, custom property, or any other attribute.
Click Add Selected Objects to add the objects to the alert limitation.
Click Next and complete the rest of the alert configuration.
You can now save and enable the alert, and it will only notify you when packet loss meets or exceeds 50% for the nodes that you have selected in the alert limitation. References: 1: Limit the objects an alert applies to
