Click on the save icon in the top right.
Navigate to the root dashboard view (top left item in sidebar), choose the Alarmzone which you want to connecto to your ilert alert source. Click on the cog and and select Edit.
Scroll all the way down to the Alarmzone's Webhooks configuration.
And click on the plus icon to create a new assignment.
It is important to choose Alarmstate change as alarm assignment otherwise the connection wont work properly.
Each ilert alert source is connected to a Kentix AlarmManager Webhook.
Which in fact are assigned to Alarmzones. You might created multiple alert sources and assign them to as many Alarmzones as you like.
Each device in a alarmzone will create its own alert for its alarms.
However ilert will not create a new alert per alarm type if an ongoing alert of the same device is already open, instead the additional alarms are appended to the existing alert.
When all alarms of the device fall back to normal state, ilert will automatically resolve the opened alert.
