Creating Alerts for Unreachable File Server Enablement Machines - x360Sync

Written By Tami Sutcliffe (Super Administrator)

Overview

The Activity Log tab can be used to create alerts so that you are notified when important events occur in the system. Activity alerts are especially useful when monitoring events that can impact an organization or data access.

For example, you can create an alert for when a File Server Enablement machine is unreachable for five minutes. This alert proactively monitors the state of a file server that is syncing to the cloud, allowing you to address any issues as quickly as possible.
