Alarm automation
Set up an alarm automation
You can automatically create a ticket when a specific alarm occurs in any system in your portfolio. You decide which alarms and alarm levels (for example overall system, inverter) trigger an automation.
Example
When a total outage alarm occurs, an automatic ticket will be created to investigate the cause.
Note
For each automation you set up, only one ticket will be generated within any 24-hour period, starting at midnight.
