How to create Notification recipients and Notification groups in the Management Console for use in Health Tests
 

Adding Notification Recipients

1. Expand the Global Settings node in the Management Console treeview and select Notifications
2. Enter the name of an SMTP server
3. From the Recipients section, select Add
4. Enter the recipient’s name and email address
5. Select the format of emails the recipient is to receive: either HTML or Plain Text
6. Select the type of alarms the user is to receive: either errors and warnings or only errors
7. Click OK

Note: You can send a test message to see if the SMTP server is working by clicking the Send Test button. This ensures that Spotlight on Messaging can deliver a message to the specified email address.

Adding Notification Groups

1. Expand the Global Settings node in the Management Console treeview and select Notifications
2. From the Groups section, select Add
3. Enter the sender’s name and email address
4. Select the recipients to receive notification messages

Note: Adding token's to the "External application command line" area with out specifing a valid script or command to execute can cause the notification email to fail to send.

When you create a new Health Test you can now select a Notification Group from drop-down menu on the Test Settings screen that Spotlight on Messaging will deliver the Test Results to through email.
