For system objects, there may be important state that the user should see in the active status (e.g., "Ground in a network with isolated neutral", "Switching on a sectionalizer", "Opening the emergency exit door"). Events reporting this important state are opening events. Events reporting the end of an important object state are closing events. These two types of events are events with return. **Events with return should ALWAYS be paired: the second event ALWAYS closes the first one. **Events in the active state are displayed in a separate tab of the operational log and disappear from there after triggering the closing event.

294 - <ol>
295 - <li>
296 - <strong>Set up an event</strong> with the triggering formula, for example, connection loss
297 - (<code>ti40027171 != 1</code>) or restoration (<code>ti40027171 == 1</code>) — any tag
298 - registered in the system can be used (Figure 2.13).
299 - </li>
300 - <li>
301 - <strong>Create a calculated tag</strong> with the formula <code>[devstatusNN]</code> where
302 - NN is the device ID (Figure 2.14). The tag to be used for the designated purpose may get
303 - its value from a real device or may be based on other tags.
304 - </li>
305 - <li>
306 - <strong>Set up an object on the diagram</strong>, referencing the calculated tag from step 2
307 - in its rules (Figure 2.15).
308 - </li>
309 - <li>
310 - After saving the diagram and updating the configuration, if the status of the NN device
311 - changes, the system will start flashing the bound diagram object until it is acknowledged.

The formula can refer not only to the device status, any tags registered in the system can be applied here, in this example, the device status is used as a special case. For more details on the available formulas and expressions, please refer to the** Setup Manual. **

281 +== 3.1. Creating and editing notifications ==
282 +
283 +CENTO has the function to notify users about an event triggered via e-mail.
284 +
285 +To configure notifications, go to the /CENTO/web/ui/notifications_configuration/index page (menu item Settings > Events > Notifications (see Fig. 2.1). The configuration of the mail server is described in the "Setup Manual, Mail servers".

289 +
290 +Fig. 3.1 - Notifications interface
291 +
292 +In the interface presented, the user has the ability to:
293 +
294 +~1. Create notifications;
295 +
296 +2. Edit notifications.
297 +
298 +The notification table has the following columns.
299 +
300 +1. **Name **is the name of the notification.
301 +1. **Emails **are the e-mail addresses that have been configured to receive notifications.
302 +1. **Dispatch period **is the time of the day allowed for sending notifications.
303 +1. **Iteration period** is the minimum time interval between notifications, meaning notifications cannot be sent to the recipient more frequently than this set period.
304 +1. **Operation threshold **is the number of event triggers required before a notification is sent.
305 +1. **State **is on/off.
306 +1. **Actions** are operations available to the user that can be performed in response to an event (edit [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.05.05.png||height="25" width="27"]], copy [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.05.32.png||height="26" width="26"]], delete [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.05.55.png||height="26" width="23"]]).
307 +
308 +To create a new notification, click the button [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.06.27.png||height="33" width="151"]].
309 +
310 +Only an authorized user with appropriate permissions can create and edit notifications.
311 +
312 +The notifications creation is shown in Fig. 3.2.

315 +
316 +Fig. 3.2 - Notifications: creation page
317 +
318 +To create a notification, fill in the following fields in the **Notification settings** tab:
319 +
320 +**Name** is used to specify the name of the notification.
321 +
322 +**State **is a switch that enables or disables the notification.
323 +
324 +**Operation threshold **is the number of event triggers required before a notification is sent.
325 +
326 +**Dispatch period** is the time of the day allowed for sending notifications.
327 +
328 +**Iteration period** is the minimum time interval between notifications, meaning notifications cannot be sent to the recipient more frequently than this set period.
329 +
330 +**Delay (s) **is** **set to accumulate events during the delay from the first event.
331 +
332 +**Notification method:**
333 +
334 +**E-mail server **is a mail server used for sending messages. Mail servers are configured in the Settings > Email servers menu (for details on configuring mail servers, refer to the "Setup Manual").

340 +Fig. 3.3 - Event selection tab
341 +
342 +In the "Event selection" tab (Fig. 3.3), tick the events required for notification in the left column and use the "Right" button [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.08.29.png||height="27" width="24"]]to move them to the right column. Unnecessary events can be moved from the right column using the "Left" button [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.08.55.png||height="28" width="25"]], having previously marked them with checkmarks.
343 +
344 +After filling in all the fields, click the button [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.09.48.png||height="24" width="60"]] and update the configuration.
345 +
346 +== 3.2. Notification operation ==
347 +
348 +There are three types of filters in the notifications:
349 +
350 +1. Operation threshold;
351 +1. Iteration period;
352 +1. Dispatch period.
353 +
354 +When configured without restrictions, the notification comes whenever any of the configured events added to the notification are triggered.
355 +
356 +**Operation threshold**
357 +
358 +The notification is triggered when the total number of triggered events in the notification reaches the number the user set.
359 +
360 +If the operation threshold is 0, the notification is generated immediately after any of the events in the notification are triggered, unless the Iteration period is set and the Dispatch period is allowed.
361 +
362 +**Iteration period**
363 +
364 +The iteration period report starts from the time when the last notification was triggered. The iteration period is set in days and hours.
365 +
366 +If the iteration period is set to 0 days 0 hours, notifications will be generated and sent immediately if the conditions of other filters are met.
367 +
368 +**Dispatch period**
369 +
370 +If the dispatch period is set to 0:00 - 24:00, notifications can be sent at any time of the day.
371 +
372 +If the dispatch period is set to a specific time, such as 8:00, notifications will be sent once a day at that time.
373 +
374 +Currently, the dispatch period can only be set within a single day. For example, it is not possible to set a period from 20:00 to 6:00 of the next day.

377 +
378 +Fig.3.4 - Logic of settings operation when generating notifications
379 +
380 +**Changing notification settings**
381 +
382 +If you change the alert settings (name, addresses, mail servers, triggering limits, message set, etc.) at any time, the following will happen:
383 +
384 +If the notification settings (name, recipients, email servers, operation limits, message set, etc.) are changed at any time, the following will occur:
385 +
386 +The operation threshold is saved, but the notification will not be triggered until the next event in the notification if the operation threshold is reached.
387 +
388 +The iteration period is reset.
389 +
390 +**Examples of changing notification settings:**
391 +
392 +1. The operation threshold limit was set to 5, and 3 events were triggered. After the user increases the threshold to 10, the notification will be triggered after 7 more events.
393 +1. The operation threshold was set to 10, and 7 events were triggered. After the user reduces the operation threshold to 5, a notification will be sent after the next event, for a total of 8 triggered events.
394 +1. The iteration period was set to 10 hours, and the first notification was sent 2 hours ago. Events are triggered periodically. If the notification settings are changed, the iteration period will be reset, and a notification will be sent the next time an event is triggered. The iteration period counter will start again.
395 +1. The operation threshold was set to 10. There are 3 events in the notification. The 1st event triggered 2 times. Then the User deleted the first event from the notification. The triggering counter is not reset. When the triggering counter reaches the value of 10, the notification with 8 triggering messages will be sent. The first event (which was deleted) will not be included in the notification text.

415 +Fig. 4.1 - "Sound Editor" page
416 +
417 +The **Sound editor** page shows a table with available sounds. The table contains the following columns:
418 +
419 +**ID **is a unique digital identifier of the sound.
420 +
421 +**Name** is the name of the sound.
422 +
423 +**File name **is the name of the uploaded sound file.
424 +
425 +**Uploaded **is the date when the sound was uploaded to the system.
426 +
427 +**Actions **is used to manage sounds: edit sound, play sound file, and delete.
428 +
429 +**Note: t**he sound editor allows only ".mp3" to be uploaded.
430 +
431 +To create a new sound, click the button [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.14.32.png||height="25" width="110"]]. After that a pop-up window appears (see Fig. 4.2).

436 +
437 +In the window that appears, specify the name of the new sound, select a file from your computer or drag and drop the sound file into the special field. After clicking the button [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.15.48.png||height="22" width="43"]], the created sound will appear in the Sound Editor.
438 +
439 +**Attention! **If CENTO is opened in multiple browser tabs, for example, with the sound editor in the first tab and the diagram in the second tab, the old sound will continue to play on the diagram tab after changing the sound in the sound editor. The new sound will only play on the diagram tab once the user interacts with the diagram page (e.g., by clicking a mouse button on the diagram tab).

441 += 5. EXAMPLES OF EVENT SETTING =
442 +
443 +Let’s look at some examples of event settings using the web interface. All actions are performed on the event creation page, as described in section 2.1 of this manual.
444 +
445 +Example No.1: Setting up an event on tag value change.
446 +
447 +[[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 22.17.31.png]]
448 +
449 +Fig. 5.1 - Event setting on tag value change
450 +
451 +Fig.5.1 shows that the event //Switch position f.1.1 (1QF1)// is configured with a one-position event type bound to the IM object and the device, from which the tag value changes come with the ID number 11013008. The text in the **Message** field will be written in the CENTO **Event logs,** which gets there when the tag value 11013008 is equal to 2, the formula //__ti11013008==__// 2 tells about it (formula operators are given in the Annex). This event will be configured with dead time 0 (there will be no delay in event generation), with acknowledgment and with playing the default sound, which will sound 5 times and then turn off.
452 +
453 +Example No. 2: Setting up the event on device status change.
454 +
455 +Let’s consider an example of configuring an event for changing the device status (see Fig. 5.2). The event is configured with a return. Fill all the necessary fields with information similar to the previous example. This event is divided into two notifications:
456 +
457 +1. The event //Lost connection with the device Mikrotik SW1.2 switch //enters the event log under the condition described in the formula //(devstatus100== 3) AND (devprevstatus100 !=3)//, which indicates that the status of the device with ID100 came equal to 3 and the previous status does not equal 3. This event will be configured with dead time 3000 (delay on event generation will be equal to 3000 ms) as an alarm event with acknowledgment and with sound playing until the user acknowledges this notification.
458 +1. The event //Restored connection with device Mikrotik SW1.2 switch //is logged in the event log under the condition described in the formula //(devstatus100== 1) AND (devprevstatus100 !=1)//, which indicates that the status of the device with ID100 came equal to 1 and the previous status is not equal to 1. This event will be configured as informative without acknowledgment and with a sound that will be played 3 times and then turned off.
