  • Proxy Server: It refers to the machine configured at a client location for sending monitored data of the client machines to the Summit Server. Select this option to execute the Mailbox operations from the Proxy Server. If this option is selected, select a value for Run at Proxy

Mailbox

Select the Source and Destination Mailboxes.

  • Source: Lists the configured Mailbox names. Select a Mailbox in the list that you want to define as a Source Mailbox.

Tenant

Log As User

Type in the name of the person, whose login ID is to be used for auto logging of an Incident. To search a name, click the Select User icon. The Select User page is displayed. For more information about searching a user, see Searching Users in SUMMITAI Asset Management.

Note: After an Incident is auto-logged for an Event, an e-mail is sent to the selected user name specified in this field.

Resolution Type

Displays the options to specify the resolution type.

  • Auto Resolve: Select this option for an Event for which you want to provide the resolution by the application through monitoring without any manual intervention. For example, if the CPU utilization is fluctuating for any Server, the Administrator can select this option. After the CPU utilization is back to normal, the Incident is resolved and the resolve e-mail is sent to the configured user ID.
  • Manual Resolve: Select this option for an Event for which you want to provide the resolution after assigning the Incident to an Analyst. For example, if the Hard disk utilization is increasing in any of the Servers, the Administrator can select this option. An alert e-mail is sent to the configured user ID. An Analyst is assigned to the Incident who investigates and analyzes the issue before resolving it.
  • Update: Select this option for an Incident for which the Incident is automatically updated without changing the Incident status. For example, a Server goes down and an Incident is logged for it. When the Server is up again, the Server status is automatically updated in the Incident details page.
