Method and system for targeting alerts to information handling systems

摘要

Alerts are targeted for display at an information handling system by associating conditions with alerts and downloading for display an alert only to information handling systems that meet the conditions of the alert. An alert list that includes alerts and associated conditions in an Extensible Mark-up Language file is periodically queried for retrieval at information handling systems and parsed to determine alerts targeted to the information handling system. Only relevant alerts are downloaded and displayed at each information handling system to minimize user distraction. Specific targeting is provided by logical expressions that may state conditional alert configuration parameters with precision to limit the number of information handling systems targeted for the alert to very specific configurations.
