Well, I don't actually recall getting e-mails / alerts by default beyond some basic up/down notices. Perhaps you set up an alert in your account as a test, and it's generating the e-mails?

Generally it comes down to building an alert rule that matches on what you want. I currently specify
device / maintanence state / event state (new)
and then go from there. You could also use device class if you want to apply an alert to a group of devices (by using your defined classes for grouping).

the concepts.  I am a previous SolarWinds user.  I understand how to create 
users and add devices.  When it comes to managing the mountain of alerts that 
we are receiving and make this application actually function for us, I am lost. 
 I do not understand what steps to complete after adding devices.  There are 
several default alerts that are making it to my email and cell phone but these 
are not necessarily the events that I want to see.  After collecting events, 
what are the next steps to making this application really work for you?  I have 
read through the documentation and am still at a loss.  Is there a step by step 
template that I could follow to get these new concepts to make sense?  I also 
looked for some sort of technical books that might be available on either 
Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com.  It would be helpful to have a good technical 
writer create some help for those administrators o
ut
 there who need further assistance.
