The second step in Cloud Notify is to set up alarms. Alarms describe what trigger event should be notified and to whom, based on priority. Alarms include an on-delay option and you can personalize the event message.

• Add IXrouter offline/online alarms
• Add alarms (new, import)
• Set alarm receivers
• Manage alarms (export, duplicate, remove)

Add IXrouter offline/online alarms

If the IXrouter isn't connected, you can't be alerted about machine events. You can add alarms that notify you when the IXrouter itself has been offline for at least 1 hour or comes back online. For example, when the IXrouter has been offline for the past couple of days because the data on your SIM card ran out. Generally you'll only notice these kind of problems yourself long after they have happened. Using these alarms you'll be notified instead.

The following steps explain how you can add these connection alarms.

• Go to [Devices] in the main menu, select the concerning device, open its [Apps] tab, and [Open] the Cloud Notify app.

• In the Cloud Notify app, select "Localhost" under [Alarms], press the Add alarm-icon , and select "Add new variable".

• Select the connection type "MQTT logger" as variable, enter the alarm details, and press [Add]. The image below contains explanatory text for each setting.

• Finally, press [Push changes]in the config tab to complete the setup.

Add alarms

You can add as many alarms as you like, there's no limit. It is possible to use the same variable for different alarms. You are free to configure countless alarms.

• Go to [Devices] in the main menu, select the concerning device, open its [Apps] tab, and [Open] the Cloud Notify app.

• In the Cloud Notify app, select the data source under [Alarms]and press the Add alarm-icon .

You can choose to:

• Manually add new alarms
• Import alarms from a file (or device)

Manually add new alarms

When you press [Add new alarm] you'll see the window that is depicted below.

• Select the concerning variable, enter the alarm details, and press [Add]. The image below contains explanatory text for each setting. Some variable types may have less settings.

• Finally, press [Push changes]in the config tab to complete the setup.

Import alarms from a file (or device)

You can easily and effortlessly copy alarms from one device to another by exporting the concerning alarms (view the "Manage alarms" part of this article) and then importing them in your new device. Alternatively, you can manually prepare your alarms in the required CSV format to load them all at once into your cloud logger. The CSV file structure is explained in our "Import alarms: CSV file structure"-article.

When you press [Import from CSV-file], you'll see a browse window.

• Select a CSV file to import.

• Finally, press [Push changes]in the config tab to complete the setup.

Set alarm receivers

By default, all users with access to the device will always be notified of all alarms. This can be changed per user group, user, and alarm priority level at the [Alarm receivers] page.

• Go to [Alarm receivers] in the Cloud Notify appand turn off the "Assign automatically" option.
• You can set the priority level at which a user will be notified. This can be set for each user group and individual users that have access to this IXrouter.
• Press [Confirm].

Manage alarms

Select the data source under [Alarms]. You can view all defined alarms in a list view or table view .

Multiple alarms can be selected by pressing the  icon on the left. These can then be removed , duplicated , or exported to a CSV file .
