Notification configuration settings


The Notification section contains the configurations for the Notification Engine logs that can be used for troubleshooting.  The Notification Engine allows you to define the context in which CIs and relationships are considered to be important, and enables applications to be notified whenever a relevant change is made to those CIs and relationships. 

If you are in a server group environment, select the required AR System server from the Select Server drop-down list. If you have a stand-alone environment, the required server name is automatically displayed.
