Notify Control Panel
enable a Report profile while traveling on business so that you periodically receive
reports via e-mail.
The content of a profile can range from color-coded HTML e-mail reports to plain text
reports or abbreviated short-text message reports suitable for use with 161 character
short messaging wireless devices (cell phones via SMTP to wireless gateway).
Examples
Alerts profile - You can configure a profile named Alerts to send an alert to your
wireless phone notifying you whenever Critical or Down object state changes occur.
Report profile - You can configure additional profiles such as the built-in Report profile
to periodically send high-level or detailed reports to systems management personnel at
various user-defined times of the day. For example, you can specify one profile to
report hourly, another to report semi-hourly with a different set of report criteria, and yet
another at specific time intervals with varying degrees of report detail. You can also
configure a profile to automatically update pages on your Web site.
Test Button - allows you to test the current profile configuration.
Show check box - indicates whether notifications should appear on your workstation.
For example, if you select Show, and select a content style of HTML, whenever a
notification occurs, a report will also appear on your workstation in an internet browser.
If the content style is text, the report appears in a text file viewer; for example, Note
Pad. If you select the Show check box, and you specify an SMTP server and
recipients, the ASAP Mailer status is also displayed whenever a notification occurs.
Log button - allows you to view a log of notifications. If you do not select the Trace
check box, a high-level log of each notification date, time, and recipient list is
displayed. If you select the Trace check box and you click the Log button, you are
prompted with a list of trace files. Selecting one of these displays the corresponding
trace file.
Trace check box - indicates whether a detailed trace file should be created for each e-
mail send attempt. If you select the check box, a trace file is created each time an e-
mail is sent. If you click the Log button, you can view these trace files. This option is
intended for debugging purposes only and should not be enabled unless you are
attempting to diagnose a problem with notifications.
Cleanup button - allows you to delete all user-defined profiles except the built-in
Alerts and Report profiles.
Notify Content
The Content portion of the Notify control panel defines the notification rule, the type of
reports to be included, the amount of detail, the style of the content, and whether short
text messages suitable for wireless pagers or phones should be sent.
Notify Rule menu - ASAP determines when to send reports to you based on the Notify
Rule setting.
