Introduction

Change Auditor can generate alerts when certain kinds of configuration changes occur. These alerts appear in the client and are then dispatched to designated recipients via email (SMTP), SNMP or WMI events.

Smart Alert Technology provides intelligent event correlation by notifying you when event patterns cause potential security risks. You can customize the Smart Alerts to match your security policies. For example, if a privileged account is attempting to log on with a bad password at multiple computers within a predetermined time period, a proactive alert can be generated.

Alert tab (Search Properties tabs)

The Alert tab displays the current alert configuration for the selected search definition. From the Alert tab, you can enable/disable an alert notification for the selected search definition, define how and where to dispatch the alert (via SMTP (email), SNMP and/or WMI), and modify the alert configuration settings.

Use the controls on the Alert tab as described below.

Alert Enabled

Select the Alert Enabled check box to enable an alert for the current search definition.

This option will became available only after one of the transport methods are selected in the Send Alert To setting on this tab.

Send Alert To

Select all of the transport options that are to be applied to this search definition:

SNMP - Select this option to dispatch alerts for this search definition via SNMP traps.
WMI - Select this option to dispatch alerts for this search definition via WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) events.
SMTP - Select this option to dispatch alerts for this search definition via email. Selecting this option will display the Alert Custom Email dialog allowing you to specify the email address of the persons who are to receive the email notification.

History Search Limit

By default, up to 50,000 events can be included in the alert history. Use the arrow controls to increase or decrease this value to define the maximum number of events to be included in the alert history.

NOTE: The History Search Limit setting is a global setting and changes made to this setting will be applied to ALL alerts.

Configure Email

For SMTP alerts, click Configure Email to change the details about the alert email to be sent, including the To address, the Reply To address, and the Subject Line. In addition, from the Alert Custom Email dialog you can access the Alert Body Configuration dialog to configure the body of the email alert.

Events Per Email

For SMTP alerts, a maximum of 100 events will be included in a single alert email by default. Use the arrow controls to increase or decrease this value to define the maximum number of events to be included in an email.

Time zone

For SMTP alerts, use this field to specify the time zone to be used for the time stamp in the name of the report attachment. By default, the time zone of the computer where the Change Auditor client resides is used.

Smart Alert Enabled

Select this check box to specify under what conditions an alert is to be sent. This feature is only available for SMTP and SNMP notifications.

Send Alert When <nn> Events Occur Within <nn> <interval>

Select this option to specify the number of events that must occur within a specified time interval before generating/dispatching the alert.

Where: <interval> is one of the following: minutes, hours or days

On A Single Object

Select this check box to specify that the event must occur for the same object the specified number of times before the alert will be triggered. When this check box is cleared (default), the event can occur on any object the specified number of times to trigger the alert.

Enable alerts

Using the Searches page, you can enable/disable alert notifications for individual search definitions and dispatch them via SMTP (email), SNMP or WMI.

Add Users - When selected, alerts for user object changes are sent to the user; alerts for mailbox objects are sent to the mailbox owner.
Add Managers - When selected, alerts for user object changes are sent to the user manager (if set); alerts for group objects are sent to the managed-by user (if set). Alerts for mailbox objects are sent to the owner's manager (if set).
