Automated Alarms

SLA definitions set targets for good Wi-Fi performance and provide you with a percentage of compliance. Automated alarms are separate, and trigger an email notification when certain conditions that you configure are met.  7SIGNAL also provides SMTP traps and webhooks for integrations with others systems.

Automated alarms are created through the Configurator user interface, under the Manage menu. The video below will walk you through the process.
