Time-based alerts
Last backup
This option is effective when the console is connected to a managed machine (p. 439) or to the
management server (p. 439).
The option defines whether to alert if no backup was performed on a given machine for a period of
time. You can configure the time period that is considered critical for your business.
The preset is: alert if the last successful backup on a machine was completed more than 5 days ago.
The alert is displayed in the Alerts section of the Dashboard. When the console is connected to the
management server, this setting will also control the color scheme of the Last backup column's value
for each machine.
Last connection
This option is effective when the console is connected to the management server or to a registered
machine (p. 440).
The option defines whether to alert if no connection was established between a registered machine
and the management server for a period of time so indicating that the machine might not be
centrally managed (for instance in the case of network connection failure to that machine). You can
configure the length of time that is considered critical.
The preset is: alert if the machine's last connection to the management server was more than 5 days
ago.
The alert is displayed in the Alerts section of the Dashboard. When the console is connected to the
management server, this setting will also control the color scheme of the Last connect column's
value for each machine.
15.4.10.3 Domain access credentials
This option determines the user name and password that the management server will use to access
the domain.
The preset is: No credentials
The management server needs domain access credentials when working with a dynamic group that is
based on the Organizational unit criterion (p. 370). When you are creating such group and no
credentials are given by this option, the program will ask you for credentials and save them in this
option.
It is sufficient to specify the credentials of a user who is a member of the Domain Users group on the
domain.
15.4.10.4 E-mail settings
The option enables you to configure e-mail settings to send notifications about alerts which occurred
on the management server.
The notification schedule and the types of alerts to send are configured in Management server
options > E-mail settings > Alert notifications (p. 389).
The preset is: Disabled.
