Alerts
The OpenLM Alerts Enables license managers to define alert conditions and act when these conditions are met
The OpenLM Alerts extension is designed to assure the stability of the organizations licensing system. It enables License managers to define alert conditions, and act when these conditions are met.
The system can handle complex conditions over multiple license servers and features. Alert conditions may be added on the alert form. AND / OR logic may be applied between these conditions.
The Alerts’ “destination editor” window enables the direction of alerts to desired destination:
- EasyAdmin ‘Alerts’ window
- Log file
- Alert messages to email or SMS accounts
- All if desired
For example, an alert may be sent to an email during work hours and to SMS after work hours.
