Alerts
On the Specify Configuration Manager And Operations Manager Alert Options page, you
configure what information you get back about deployments. The settings that you configure
depend on whether you deploy the software as Available or as Required.
If you deploy the software as Available, you can create a deployment alert when the
threshold is higher than a specific value. You can configure the threshold as a percentage of
failure; when a certain percentage of deployed clients report a failure, an alert is generated.
For example, if you configure the percentage as 10 for a deployment that is targeting 1,000
devices and 100 deployments fail, an alert is generated.
If you also are using System Center 2012 R2 Operations Manager or System Center 2012
Operations Manager, you can specify the following Operations Manager-related settings:
■ Enable System Center Operations Manager Maintenance Mode This check box
is disabled by default. If you enable this setting, the Operations Manager agent on the
computer will not generate any alerts during the deployment of the application.
■ Generate System Center Operations Manager Alert When A Software Instal-
lation Fails or Generate System Center Operations Manager Alert When The
Software Removal Fails This check box is disabled by default. If the Enable System
Center Operations Manager maintenance mode is enabled and this setting is not
enabled, Operations Manager administrators might not notice failed installations (or
uninstallations). This can leave a critical, monitored system in a nonfunctioning state
without notifying the Operations Manager administrators.
If you deploy the software as Required, in addition to the options displayed for the Avail-
able deployment, the following settings are available:
■ Create A Deployment Alert When The Threshold Is Lower Than The Following or
Create A Removal Alert When The Threshold Is Lower Than The Following The
following two settings are available under this check box:
■ Percent Success You can specify a number between 0 and 99.
■ After You specify a date and time, and, if the specified percentage success is not
met at this time, an alert is generated.
■ Create A Deployment Alert When The Threshold Is Higher Than The Following
or Create A Removal Alert When The Threshold Is Higher Than The Follow-
ing The following setting is available under this check box:
■ Percent Failure You can specify a number between 0 and 99.
By specifying these settings, you ensure that an alert is generated if the specified percent-
age of targeted devices has not reported a successful deployment by the specified date and
time. For example, you can configure the percent success to 90 by December 12, 2014, for a
deployment that is targeting 1,000 devices. On December 13, 2014, if 900 deployments have
not been successful, an alert is generated.
