The simplest would be if you are running R2. If you are then you can right click on the alert under Alerts View when it is triggered and select "Notification Subscription". This will launch a wizard that will create a notification for the alert and allow you to assign it to a subscriber. If you are not at R2 Level, then you can create a custom alert. In the criteria section you will want to only select "Created by specific rules or monitors". Then you can specify which monitor you want to alert on. Again, you will be able to assign this subscription to a subscriber of your choice. Hope this helps. Brad Hi Henry,

However, I'm stuck on setting up a notification based on this specific alert. I can setup a general notification subscription for all alerts of type Critical. However, I'm interested in targeting the notification for this particular alert, to a set of users. Any ideas? -Henry This is very helpful, thank you.
