Example 6–21 Creating an Email Notification for Server Groups Being Created
This example shows how to create an event notification to be sent by email if a server group is created. Note that an SMTP email server must first be configured using the n1smconfig utility as described in Configuring the N1 System Manager in Sun N1 System Manager 1.3 Installation and Configuration Guide.
The event notification is called notif2. The recipient's email address is nobody@sun.com
N1-ok> create notification notif2 destination nobody@sun.com Lifecycle.Logical.CreateGroup type email |
The show notification command can be used to verify that the event notification has been created.
N1-ok> show notification Name Event Topic Destination State notif2 Lifecycle.Logical.CreateGroup nobody@sun.com enabled |
The event can be invoked by creating a false group, as a test.
N1-ok> create group test |
An email should be sent if the notification was created successfully. Otherwise, the following error message is displayed:
Notification test failed. |
Verify if the SMTP server is configured correctly and is reachable, and if the email address used in the notification rule is valid.
Example 6–22 Creating an SNMP Notification for Hardware Health Thresholds Being Exceeded
