Alert Masking

The Alert Mask allows you to automatically apply an alert from your library to all targets, or to a group of targets. The way you define the group of targets is by using a subnet mask.

Add the Alert Mask

  1. 1. Open a Target Window and click on the Alerts button in the upper-right hand corner.
  2. 2. Create an alert for the target if one hasn’t already been created.
  3. 3. Click on the filter icon next to the alert.

          Use CIDR notation          

  1. 4. Type ALL to apply this alert to all targets (old and new). To apply this to a group of targets, type the range of IP addresses using CIDR notation, e.g. 192.168.0.0/24.

          Create alert mask

  1. 5. Click Save.

Examples

  • 192.168.0.0/24 = 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.0.255
  • 10.0.0.0/21 = 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.7.255
  • 172.16.0.0/28 = 172.16.0.0 - 172.16.0.15

Pro Tip

Use a CIDR Calculator to help you get the right range of IP addresses.
