Patching Job - Scheduled Job Notifications
The Scheduled Job Notifications tab lets you send notifications when a scheduled job completes.
Notifications can take the form of emails or SNMP traps. When a job completes, an SNMP trap is sent to a specified server, where it can be read using software that receives and interprets SNMP traps.
Patching Job Run Notifications
Field | Description |
---|---|
Send email to | Lists email addresses of the accounts to notify when a job completes with the status that you specify. Separate multiple email addresses with semicolons, such as sysadmin@bmc.com;sysmgr@bmc.com. After entering email address information, select the statuses that cause an email to be generated. |
Append patch analysis results to email | Indicates emailed notifications should include detailed patch analysis results. Note: This option is relevant only for Patching Jobs and not for Patching Remediation Jobs. You cannot send attachments for Patching Remediation Jobs, or for the child Deploy Jobs of Patching Analysis and Patching Remediation Jobs |
Limit email body size | Limits the size of email that is generated by appending patch analysis results. Enter the maximum size, in kilobytes, in the text box. The default value is 1000 KB. |
Send SNMP trap to | Provides name or IP address of the server to notify when the job completes. After entering server information, select the statuses that should cause an SNMP trap to be generated. TrueSight Server Automation provides a management information base (MIB) that describes its SNMP trap structure. You can use this MIB to create scripts that integrate traps into your trap collection system. The MIB is located at installDirectory/Share/BladeLogic.mib. |
List failed servers in email notification | Indicates email notifications should list all servers on which a job has failed. |
Create incident on job failure | Creates an incident in BMC Remedy ITSM if the job fails. This option is available if this job type was selected to support the creation of ITSM incidents and a connection to BMC Remedy ITSM was set up.
