I can't see that I have got any response on this question. So I try again.

08:50:18 >>> The "Alert Profiles" is not so easy to understand. But I'm not giving up :-)

My idea was that I should make some Public filters and Public filter groups for my colleges at the computer dep. To make it easier for them to make alert profiles.

So I thought that if we regisetred all the servers in their Sub category, it would be easy to get all the alerts for the servers in that group (All the Novell servers or Mail servers and so on.)

I have been trying to get alerts based on this idea, but with no success. If I add "All alerts" I get alerts on email and sms. So I know that the alertengine is working.

But I have also tried to make an alert based on one ip-address (equals IP) with no success. When should I use "equals" or "in"? (I have tried both)

I'm attaching two screen-shot of my Sub category filter and filter groups. Please help me, tell me what I'm doing wrong, or if there is some bug. My boss wants alerts :-)

I think we have the same problem. I have made a public filter, but when I include this in my personal filter group I don't receive alerts that match the filter. If I make my own filters or filtergroups things works as expected.

Perhaps it has something to do with settings in the "Public Access" page?
