6 Configuring Notification Alerts to External Programs
About Notification Templates
Oracle GoldenGate Monitor comes with a default SNMP notification template and you can add multiple email and command line interface (CLI) notification templates. All templates can be modified at any point in time and the changes are dynamic so a restart of Oracle GoldenGate Monitor is not necessary. When you add alert definitions based on a template, that template cannot be removed; you can only remove templates that are not associated with an alert.
Consider the following when using notification templates:
-
You do not need to restart Oracle GoldenGate Monitor when you add or modify notification templates.
-
You cannot delete notification templates that are associated with alert definitions.
-
Select at least one notification template to define an alert.
-
You can select notification templates for one or more notification template email, command line interface, and SNMP.
-
User can change notification template at any point in time.
Only Oracle GoldenGate Monitor Super Administrator, Administrator, or Power Operator users can configure alert notifications templates.
Managing Notification Templates
Use the Notification Template subtab of the Alert Management tab to create, view, and modify notification templates.
-
The Manage Notification Template table on this subtab displays the existing templates, with the following columns:
-
Name: The name of the template.
-
Type: The type of template, CLI, email, or SNMP.
-
Enabled: Indicates whether the template can be used for alert definitions (Enabled) or not (Disabled).
-
Date Modified: The date and time the template was last modified.
On the Alert Management tab, you can take the following actions:
-
To create an alert definition, click New Notification Template Definition. See Configuring an Alert Definition.
-
To edit an alert definition, click its name in the list to open the Edit Alert Definition screen. See Configuring an Alert Definition.
-
To delete a notification template, as long as it is not in use by any alert definitions, click the check box for the template you want to remove, then click Remove Notification Template, then click Yes to confirm the removal. All templates can be selected using the check box in the table header.
You cannot remove the default SNMP template; attempts to do so result in a warning.
