Change Properties Wizard
General information
The "Change Properties" wizard is used for changing properties of several checks or alerts.
The way it works
Example1: Suppose you need to set the Timeout property
to 30 seconds in all Ping checks. Start the wizard from the menu "Tools/Wizards/Change
Properties…". Leave the value of the "Change properties"
combo box set to "CHECK's". Select the Ping type of checks.
Click the Next button. If you do not want to change the timeout
of some checks in the hierarchic tree, uncheck the corresponding items. Click
the Next button. Now select the Timeout property from
the list and click the "Change…" button. Specify the new value
of 30 in the "Change Property Timeout" dialog window. Click the Finish
button. The task is done.
Example2: Suppose you need to set the value of the MailTo
property to admin@domain.com in all E-Mail alerts. Start the wizard
via the menu "Tools/Wizards/Change Properties…". Set the value of the
"Change properties" combo box to "ALERT's". Select
all types of checks by clicking the "Check All Items" button
at the top of the list with check types. Select the E-Mail type of
alerts. Click the Next button. After that you will see the
hierarchic tree where you can correct which alerts should be changed. Click
the Next button. Now select the MailTo property from
the list and click the "Change…" button. Specify the new value
admin@domain.com in the "Change Property MailTo" dialog window. Click
the Finish button. The task is done.
Step 1:
At this step you should decide if you want to change properties of either checks or alerts
and select the necessary types of checks and/or alerts. If you want to change the properties
of alerts and select the Ping type of checks and the E-Mail type of alerts, it will result
in displaying all E-Mail alerts from checks of the Ping type, while E-Mail alerts from other
types of checks will not be displayed.
Control elements:
- Change Properties - use this combobox to select the properties of checks or alerts you want to change.
- Check All Items - select all checks/alerts in the corresponding list.
- Uncheck All Items - clear the selection of all checks/alerts in the corresponding list.
- Invert Items Check State - invert the selection in the corresponding list.
Step 2:
At this step checks/alerts of those types that you specified at step 1 are displayed.
Now you can select more specifically the properties of which checks/alerts you want to change.
Control elements:
- Check All Items - select all checks/alerts in the tree.
- Uncheck All Items - clear the selection of all checks/alerts in the tree.
- Invert Items Check State - invert the selection in the tree.
Step 3:
At this step you can change the properties of the selected checks/alerts. In the list you can
see the properties of all checks/alerts of the selected type or all common properties if you
have selected several or all types of checks/alerts. To change some property, click the "Change..."
button and enter the new value of this property in the new window. Click the "OK" button to close the window.
After you change all the properties you want to be changed, click the "Finish" button to close the wizard.
Control elements:
- Changes - when you press this button, you open the window where you can enter the new value of the selected property.
- Undo - undo changing the selected property. If the property has not been changed, this button is disabled.
Note 1: Those properties that have different values in different checks/alerts are gray.
The blue color shows the properties that have been changed in this wizard.
