Introduction to notifications

Notifications enable you to create and manage notification rules. Notification rules alert users to real time conditions that signal events of interest. Notification messages may be customized to include information that is specifically relevant to the event, and may be sent via email to individuals, groups, or to a web service. Further, escalations are also configurable in the notification system.

You can use PI System Explorer to configure and manage notification rules from both the Notification Rules tab (visible after selecting an element), and from the Management plug-in.

Note: The audit log is accessed by right-clicking a notification rule and then selecting Audit Trail Events. For more information on the audit trail feature, see Track PI AF changes with Audit Trail.
