    Send Short Message E-mail display

     
    Define the settings for a Send Short Message E-mail alert action on a NetBotz Appliance.
    A name field, severity selections, and the "Alert Action Scheduling" display that all alert action types share, are also available.

    Note

    Make sure the SMTP settings for the monitored NetBotz Appliances are defined properly.

    E-mail tab

    Element Description
    Add Click to add an e-mail address to the address list.
    Remove Click to remove a selected e-mail address from the address list.
    Include Threshold-specific Addresses Select to send e-mails to e-mail addresses defined for NetBotz Appliance alert thresholds.
    Subject Enter a subject for the message; macros can be used.

    Threshold-specific addresses example

    • A “generic_send_SMS_email” alert action is created with no e-mail addresses included.
    • Include Threshold-specific Addresses is selected for this "generic_send_SMS_email" action.
    • The “generic_send_SMS_email” alert action is added to an alert profile called “alert_profile1.”
    • The “alert_profile1” profile is specified for two thresholds, “temp_too_high” and “humidity_too_high.”
    • The “temp_too_high” threshold has Threshold-Specific Addresses for User1 and User2, and the “humidity_too_high” threshold has Threshold-Specific Addresses for User3 and User4.
      • When “temp_too_high” triggers, only User1 and User2 will receive short-message e-mails.
      • When “humidity_too_high” triggers, only User3 and User4 will receive short-message e-mails.

    Advanced tab

    Minimize Header Usage Select to minimize the size of the e-mail headers.
