ASAP 3.0 Client Manual

HP NonStop ASAP Client Manual Page 114 of 161
Style Short Check Box - indicates reports should be extremely abbreviated. Select
this check box if you want only brief Alerts, Score, and Details reports. This is
especially useful if you are sending a report to a short text message device (for
example, a wireless pager or a cell phone).
Suggestion: To send notifications via a short message service such as an SMTP
gateway, create a different profile for each report type, (Alerts, Score, and Detail), each
with Short Text selected. That way you will receive three different abbreviated reports
when an alert occurs.
Refresh Drop-Down - indicates the HTML refresh rate in seconds. If this field is not
zero, the value specifies how often a web browser automatically updates the web page
for this profile. That is, the Notify Rule defines when a web page file is updated on the
web server, and the Refresh menu defines how often a web browser should pull that
page. The web page file is defined in the File text box.
Considerations
The value of the Minimum State Change menu on the OSC Property sheet determines
the minimum state that is monitored for alert notification purposes. For example, if the
minimum state change monitored is Critical, only objects with state changes to the
Critical or Down state will cause alert notifications. The Notify button is located on the
OSC property sheet because its actions are directly related to the Minimum State
Change menu setting.
Notify Recipients
To, CC, BCC fields - define the recipients who will receive electronic mail (e-mail)
notifications. These fields all accept comma-separated lists of e-mail addresses to
whom notifications will be mailed, courtesy copied, or blind copied. For example, To
field recipients can be specified as:
To: [e-mail], [e-mail]
If you do not want to receive e-mail notifications but would like notification reports to
automatically appear on your workstation when notify rule conditions are satisfied,
leave the To, CC, and BCC fields blank.
From field - defines the return e-mail address shown in the e-mail or phone alert. If
you are using short messaging, you might want to keep this field short.
Subject field - defines the subject sent with the e-mail or phone alert. If you are using
short text messages, you might want to leave this field blank or keep the subject short.
Priority Drop-Down - defines the priority of the notification message. Standard RFC
821 priorities are used: Normal, Urgent, Non-Urgent. If your notification is an alert, you
probably will want to set the priority to Urgent. (Urgent can expedite transmission, and
mail or wireless viewers might also pay special attention to messages marked Urgent.)
