Configure alerts

Configure audit event alerts
Knox Manage can trigger alerts whenever an audit event is logged with specific parameters. This feature gives your admins the capability to monitor the activities and statuses of your managed devices, helping you respond more effectively to events in your enterprise activities.
When managing geofencing audits for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 devices running Android 7, the radius of the geofencing area is measured in miles, not meters.
To configure alerts:
-
Go to History > Alert.
-
Click Manage Alerts, then select an audit event from the All Audit Events to add it as a managed alert.
-
In the Selected Audit Events list, click the cells in the Audit Event, Level, and Status columns to modify those respective settings for the alert:
-
Audit Event — Select a descriptor for the alert.
-
Level — Select a level for the alert. By default, the alert level is set the same as the audit event level. To trigger an alert, the alert level must be set the same or lower than the audit event level. For more information about audit event levels, see Severity level.
-
Status — Select the audit outcome that triggers the alert.

Save your changes.

Configure emails for certificate and token expirations in your tenant
Knox Manage can notify your admins by email when your tenant’s certificates and tokens expire. Emails are sent 30 days before the token or certificate expires. Tenant-wide tokens include those for the Apple Push Notification service (APNs), Apple Volume Purchasing Program (VPP), Apple Automated Device Enrollment, and others. Through this feature, your enterprise can stay on top of certificate and token changes and renewals, reducing downtime due to outdated validation documents and keys.

-
On the Knox Manage console, click > Notification Mailing Settings.
-
