Use SMS, Email, and HTTP Notifications
Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service integrates with the Twilio SMS service to help provide seamless SMS notifications. You can also use the default SMTP account, or your own SMTP server, for sending out email notifications. HTTP endpoint notifications are also supported for external applications.
You can configure Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service to send SMS notifications for asset incidents, warnings, and alerts. When a rule triggers an incident, warning, or alert, SMS notifications are sent to all configured subscribers on their mobile devices.
You can also send email notifications for asset incidents, warnings, and alerts. When a rule triggers an incident, warning, or alert, email notifications are sent to all configured subscribers. The email notifications also contain a link to the corresponding incident making it easy to navigate to the incident details in the application.
HTTP endpoint notifications are also supported for external applications. For example, an application, such as Oracle Transportation Management (OTM) or Oracle Intelligent Track and Trace can receive alerts and incident notifications from the connected IoT application.
SMS, email, and HTTP notifications eliminate the need to monitor the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service application continuously. All subscribers are actively informed about incidents, warnings, and alerts that need attention. You can then use the Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service mobile application or Web interface to look at, and address, the issues.
To use the SMS notification service, you must have a Twilio account subscription. Add your Twilio account information to Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service to start using the notification service. After adding your account, you can add subscribers that need to receive these notifications, and select the rules that should send the notifications.
To use email notifications, you can use the built-in, default SMTP account. The default account has a usage limit of 100,000 messages. Alternatively, you can use your own SMTP server to channel Oracle IoT Asset Monitoring Cloud Service email notifications. After choosing your SMTP account, you can add subscribers that need to receive these notifications, and select the rules that should send the notifications.
