BMC TrueSight Operations Management 11.0 ... Installing Installing Infrastructure Management components Configuring Infrastructure Management after installation Configuring Infrastructure Management Server

Configuring e-mail settings to receive alerts

Review the e-mail settings on the server target computer to ensure that it is configured to receive e-mail alerts from Infrastructure Management. If it is not, an error or warning message similar to the following is displayed:

Warning: ProactiveNet's e-mail alerts may not work with the current configuration

If this message is displayed, perform the following procedure.

To configure e-mail settings to receive alerts from Infrastructure Management

  1. Review the e-mail settings and make any necessary changes, as described in the table below:

    E-mail settings required to receive alerts from Infrastructure Management

    SettingLocationParameter or property to changeCorrect format
    Administrator's e-mail address
    • Linux/Solaris
      /usr/installationDirectory
      /etc/hosts/admin_user
    • Microsoft Windows
      installationDirectory\pw
      \etc\hosts\admin_user
    		admin_userFully qualified e-mail address in the following format:user@company.com
    Sender's e-mail address
    • Linux/Solaris
      /usr/installationDirectory
      /etc/hosts/ from_name
    • Microsoft Windows

    		from_nameEither user oruser@company.com, depending on the valid From address accepted by the SMTP server
    SMTP server hostname or IP address
    • Linux/Solaris
      /usr/installationDirectory
      /custom/conf/pronet.conf
    • Microsoft Windows
      installationDirectory\pw
      \custom\conf\pronet.conf
    		pronet.api.emailer.smtp.hostFully qualified server hostname or IP address reachable from the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server host
    SMTP port

      /custom/conf/pronet.conf
    • Microsoft Windows
      installationDirectory\pw
      \custom\conf\pronet.conf
    		pronet.api.emailer.smtp.portValid port number on which the SMTP server is listening for SMTP requests

     

  2. After you modify the e-mail settings, verify the configuration by using one of the following scripts, depending on your operating system:
    • Linux/Solaris: /usr/pw/pronto/bin/TestEmail.sh
    • Microsoft Windows: installationDirectory\pw\pronto\bin\TestEmail.bat
    A Success or Failure message is sent to the administrator's e-mail address and is added to the TestEmail.log file that is located in the same directory as the verification script.
    You can run the script multiple times until the email settings are configured correctly.

    How to put multiple email address in Administrator's e-mail address. I tried separating with comma, semicolon it does not work. If the put the email address on a new line, it take only the first email address.

      Hello Tadgata,

      We tested this in-house and comma separated email IDs work. Can you share the file and we can take a look?

        Hi Sanjay, In my environment, i am able to put multiple email address by separating them by a space.

        Can you share a link on how i can customize the email notifications?

          Hello Tadgata,

          What sort of customizations are you looking at? I'll check if those are supported or not.

    Hi,

    I have password for the email ID provided. Need to perform the integration. But cannot see any utility to provide password.

      Hi Deepak Baid, 

      For this configuration, no password is required. Can you please elaborate if you are looking for any specific info?

    Si le " testmail.bat" n'existe pas,

    • Creer un .bat et collez dedans: @ECHO OFF "%PnServerPath%\pw\perl\bin\perl.exe" "%PnServerPath%\pw\pronto\bin\TestEmail.pl"

    ca lancera le test en perl.

    et voila. R
