The alerts available in HEAT PatchLink DeskTop for System Center can be customized to your liking. You can change their severity, modify the
values that trigger them, or add comments to them.
All of the steps here are completely optional. You'll likely set these once and never touch them again. You may find you don't
need to touch them at all.
