SolarWinds UDT - Using GET or POST URL Functions; Dial Paging or SMS Service

Using GET or POST URL Functions
Orion can be configured to communicate alerts using HTTP GET or POST functions. As
an example, a URL may be used as an interface into a trouble ticket system, and, by
correctly formatting the GET function, new trouble tickets may be created
automatically. The following procedure configures Orion to use GET or POST HTTP
functions to communicate alert information.
To configure Orion to use GET or POST URL functions with alerts:
1. Click Get or Post a URL to a Web Server, and then then click OK.
2. Select either Use HTTP GET or Use HTTP POST to set the function that you want
to use to communicate alert information.
3. If you selected Use HTTP GET, enter the URL you want to GET.
4. If you selected Use HTTP POST, enter the URL you want to POST, and then
enter the Body to POST.
5.
On the Time of Day tab enter the time period and select the days on which you
want to activate your alert action.
6.
If you want to enable alert escalation, open the Alert Escalation tab, and
then check any of the following options, as appropriate for your alert:
n To disable the action when the alert has been acknowledged, check Do
not execute this Action if the Alert has been Acknowledged.
n To execute the action repeatedly, as long as the trigger condition exists,
check Execute this Action repeatedly while the Alert is Triggered and
then provide an appropriate action execution interval.
n To delay alert action execution, check Delay the execution of this Action,
and then provide an appropriate interval for the alert engine to wait
after the alert condition is met before executing the alert action.
7. If you are finished with the configuration of Orion to use HTTP GET or
POST URL functions, click OK.
Dial Paging or SMS Service
