Alerts should work as expected along with more clear documentation.

Expected Behavior

Steps to saving an Alert should be more clear.
Right now the below code will "seem" to be correct, but the site does not save, and throws a generic API error. However once we add a vuln filter everything works as expected.

Should not be able to submit without all of the required attributes of the alert.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

nsc.login

smtpAlert = Nexpose::SMTPAlert.new('Scan Failed', '[email protected]', 'email-server.rapid7.com', ['[email protected]'], 1, 3, 1)
scanFilter = Nexpose::ScanFilter.new(0,0,1,0,0)
smtpAlert.scan_filter = scanFilter

site = Nexpose::Site.load(nsc,1)
site.alerts = [smtpAlert]
site.save(nsc)

Add to fix

  @vuln_filter=
   #<Nexpose::VulnFilter:0x007fe810362428
    @confirmed=true,
    @potential=true,
    @severity=1,
    @unconfirmed=true>>

For a complete fix we should:

• Create default filters when creating any alert type that needs them
• Call the alert validation method when saving a site config with alerts
• Update documentation to clearly explain how to use alerts
