Specifying an E-mail Target for Low Disk Space

Currently, all e-mail notifications are sent to the admin@abc.com e-mail target, which is the default e-mail account for the notification server. In this procedure, you specify that e-mail notifications for the LDldFreeSpacePercent parameter are sent to the e-mail account networkadmin@abc.com. The e-mail address is referred to as the target.

To Specify an E-mail Target for Low Disk Space

1. From the PATROL console, access the remote agent (NT1) host KM menu commands as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.

   Warning

   Note

   The advantage of creating the target rule on the remote agent is reduced processing at the notification server. However, you could choose to create the rule on the notification server, which has the benefit of centralizing rules. For more information, see Deciding-Where-to-Place-Rules.

2. Choose the KM menu command Event Management > Alert Settings > Notification Targets > Email > Remote Targets ALARM > Set For Parameters.

   Warning

   Note

   Since you decided to create the e-mail target rule on the remote agent, you select the sub-menu command Remote Targets ALARM, because the notification is occurring on a computer that is remote from the agent. However, if you were to create the target rules on the notification server, you would use the menu command Local Targets ALARM, since the targets are located on the same computer performing the notification.

3. From the Choose the target CLASS(es) dialog box, select NT_LOGICAL_DISKS and click Accept.
4. From the Choose target INSTANCE(s) of /NT_LOGICAL_DISKS, select <all instances> and click Accept.
5. From the Choose target PARAMETER(s) of _ANYINST_, select LDldFreeSpacePercent and click Accept.
    The SET EVENT MANAGEMENT ALERT VARIABLE:emailTargetsRemoteALARM dialog box is displayed as shown in the following figure.

6. Enter the e-mail target networkadmin@abc.com and then click Accept.
    When you perform this step, the following rule is created:
    /NT_LOGICAL_DISKS/_ANYINST_/LDldFreeSpacePercent/emailTargetsRemoteALARM
    The value of this rule is networkadmin@abc.com. For more information about the emailTargets rule, see emailTargets
7. Perform Steps 1-6 for the other remote agents (NT2 and NT3) or use the PATROL Configuration Manager to copy the configuration rules from NT1 to NT2 and NT3.
